Thanks for reply Bill Bliss. Can a free trial MS Azure account be *safely* used for learning MS Teams bot development, trying out the existing samples and others without getting charged? That is, register a bot as well as potentially host bot in a Windows VM as well for prototyping purposes.  Just wanted to be sure.
