Two Options to Share a Bot in Microsoft Teams for Personal Use within an Organization

Correct Answers: B and D

After you publish your bot and connect it to the Microsoft Teams channel, you can share the link to your bot with people in your organization.

But if you want that anybody in your organization finds your bot and installs it for their use, you need to share the bot with your organization.

After you share your bot with your organization, the bot will be placed in the Teams Apps Store under the “Built by your org” section.

There are two ways to do that: to submit the bot for admin approval and download the bot's manifest file.

To access both options, you need in the Power Virtual Agents portal under the Manage section to open the Channels (Number 1)

Then select the Microsoft Teams option (Number 2)

If your bot is already connected to the Teams, you will see the information about your boat (Number 3) and the “Share with my organization” section, and the “Submit for admin approval” button (Number 4).

After you push the “Submit for admin approval” button, on the next screen, you will see two buttons, the “Submit for admin approval” (Number 1) and “Download manifest” (Number 2)

Also, there is an App ID (Number 3) that you can copy and use for Teams configuration of Single Sign On (SSO) if you use a manual authentication with Azure AD.

After you review the requirements above the button and confirm that everything is correct, you can click on the “Submit for admin approval” button and finally confirm the submission.

The request is sent to the admin for approval.

You should wait till the status of your request will be updated to Approved.

And then, you can find your bot in the "Built by org" section.

If you download a .zip manifest file by clicking the “Download manifest” button, you can give it to the admin for an installation as an organization-wide bot.

You can also upload a manifest to the Microsoft Teams as a custom app if your Teams organization's policy allows uploading custom applications.

All other options are incorrect.

When you publish a bot in Microsoft Teams for personal use, it is not automatically available to the rest of your organization. However, there are several options available to share your bot with your organization:

A. Import bot to Teams: To share your bot with your organization, you can import it to Teams. This will make the bot available to other Teams users in your organization. To import your bot, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Teams and navigate to the channel or chat where you want to add the bot.
2. Click on the "+" icon to add a new tab.
3. Select the "Website" option.
4. In the URL field, enter the URL for your bot. This should be the URL that you used to test your bot during development.
5. Click "Save" to add the bot as a tab in Teams.

B. Download a manifest file: Another option to share your bot with your organization is to download a manifest file for the bot. The manifest file contains information about the bot, including its name, description, and endpoint URL. To download the manifest file, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Microsoft Teams developer portal (https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/).
2. Select your bot from the list of bots.
3. Click on the "Manifest editor" tab.
4. Click on the "Download" button to download the manifest file.
5. Share the manifest file with other Teams users in your organization.

C. Select your bot from the Teams app store: If you have published your bot to the Teams app store, other Teams users in your organization can search for and install the bot from the app store. To publish your bot to the Teams app store, you will need to submit it for admin approval.

D. Submit for admin approval: If you want to make your bot available to all users in your organization, you can submit it for admin approval to be published in the Teams app store. To do this, you will need to follow the guidelines and requirements for submitting apps to the Teams app store. Once your bot has been approved and published, other users in your organization can search for and install the bot from the app store.

In summary, there are several options available to share your bot with your organization, including importing the bot to Teams, downloading a manifest file, publishing the bot to the Teams app store, and submitting it for admin approval.
