Business value
Interacting with bots directly in a Microsoft Teams channel helps team members solve issues on their own without having to navigate to a separate website or location to access the bot.
Feature details
Bot makers can create and add chatbots to a team's channel in Microsoft Teams. Team members can talk directly to a bot in a channel by typing the @ symbol followed by the bot's name. Anyone else in the channel will be able to see the bot's responses.
