Office 365 tenant. You can get a free tenant for development use by signing up for the Office 365 Developer Program.
-
To test locally, NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 16.14.2 or higher).
# determine node version node --version
-
To test locally, you'll need Ngrok installed on your development machine. Make sure you've downloaded and installed Ngrok on your local machine. ngrok will tunnel requests from the Internet to your local computer and terminate the SSL connection from Teams.
NOTE: The free ngrok plan will generate a new URL every time you run it, which requires you to update your Azure AD registration, the Teams app manifest, and the project configuration. A paid account with a permanent ngrok URL is recommended.

Setup for Bot
- Register Azure AD application
- Register a bot with Azure Bot Service, following the instructions here.
- Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
- While registering the bot, use
https://<your_ngrok_url>/api/messages
as the messaging endpoint.
NOTE: When you create your Azure AD application registration, you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.
