Hi Petri-X​ thanks for raising your issue. This issue is caused by tenant restrictions on app registrations in Microsoft Entra ID. Developer Studio needs permission to create an app registration, and if that’s blocked, bot creation will hang. This is expected behavior, not a bug.

You can still create a bot without Developer Studio by having an admin manually create the app registration in Entra ID and an Azure Bot resource. Then link them using the client ID and secret. After that, create a Teams app manifest and upload it to Teams.

Alternatively, admins can allow users to register apps or assign roles like Application Developer. Once permissions are granted, Developer Studio will work normally.
