Remove "Add to a meeting" from Bot app install scope?

I would like to prevent users from being able to install our Bot application into a "meeting". See the attached image. I have added "team" as the "defaultInstallScope" and my bot's scopes are defined...

meetings

Prasad_Das-MSFT Thank you for the reply. I did try your suggestion but I am still seeing "Add to a meeting" in the dialog box when I "Upload a custom app"  to Microsoft Teams for testing.

I have also tried to use "connector" in place of "tab" for the meetings value in `defaultGroupCapability` but I see the same options in the "add" menu.

 

 

Here is the relevant portion of my manifest:

"bots": [
  {
    "botId": "MY_BOT_ID",
    "scopes": [
      "personal",
      "team",
      "groupChat"
    ],
    ...
  }
],
"defaultGroupCapability": {
  "team": "bot",
  "groupchat": "bot",
  "meetings": "tab"
 },
"defaultInstallScope": "team"
 
I do see that if, for example, I remove "personal" from the scopes array, then "Add for me" no longer appears in the install list. So my manifest changes are able to affect the list. I do still want the "personal" scope, but I would prefer to not have "Add to a meeting" as one of the allowed install options.

Thanks for your help.

smosche635 - Could you please provide the app manifest zip which you used, so that we can investigate from our end?

      scottmoschella - By removing the "meetings" capability from the defaultGroupCapability object in the manifest also we are able to get the option to add the app to any meeting.

       

       

      We have raised a bug for the same. We will inform you once we get any further update from engineering team. 

       

       

      Thanks, 

      Prasad Das

        Prasad_Das-MSFT - Hi Prasad, has there been any update from your engineering team? I am currently trying to solve the same issue where I want to remove the option "Add to a meeting" from the installation options of my app. Thank you.
