Not getting the bot name

When we switched to the new Teams app. We are not getting the bot name in chat. But in classic teams, we can see the bot name as mentioned in the app.

ray2408 - We are able to see the bot name properly at our end. We checked in new Teams Desktop.

Could you please share more details on this?

    In new teams((1415/24022924517). I created a bot application “tesbot_2” using teams toolkit, the bot displays as “tesbot_2”, that is correct. But if I try to change the name as other names (“ tesbot_change” for example ) in manifest.json, the bot name still displays as “tesbot_2”, that is not correct.

     

    The default name in manifest.json:

    The changed name in manifest.json:

     

    While the bot name will change as tesbot_change in old teams.

     


    Also after I change the icon in manifest.json, it works in old teams but not works in new teams.

      If you're using Teams Toolkit, open the `teamsapp.local.yml` file and modify the botFramework/create action. Change the `name` property. 

        - uses: botFramework/create # Create or update the bot registration on dev.botframework.com
    with:
      botId: ${{BOT_ID}}
      name: TeamsChef
      messagingEndpoint: ${{BOT_ENDPOINT}}/api/messages
      description: ""
      channels:
        - name: msteams


      Now when you F5 or Start Debugging again from VS Code, your bot display name will be updated. 


      For non-local scenarios like a Provisioned bot in Azure, Teams Toolkit uses the Bicep files by default. Navigate to the /infra/azure.parameters.json file and modify the `botDisplayName` parameter. When finished, run Provision from the Teams Toolkit menus or CLI. 

      If you're not using Teams Toolkit, you need to update the Bot Framework Portal registration or Azure Bot Service (whichever you are using):

      Navigate to https://dev.botframework.com/bots and select your bot. Then, select Settings and change the Display name. 



      If you're using Azure Bot Service, the steps are similar. Navigate to the Azure Portal and select the Azure Bot Service resource. You can modify the Display name setting for the bot there.

      Just to confirm, you have created a bot with Teams toolkit and ran it. Now you changed the color icon and bot name and uploaded the manifest again but it still shows old name and icon in new Teams.

      Could you please tell us how you uploaded the updated manifest?
