Bot App Deployment to MS Teams by Admin
Hi, I have developed a bot application for Microsoft Teams and am looking for an enterprise-level solution to deploy it. The goal is to allow an admin to install the app across all chats and channels without requiring users or team owners to manually add the bot. Specifically, I want to know: Is there a way to achieve this deployment through the Teams Admin Center or another native Microsoft Teams feature? Can the app be added automatically to all chats (personal and group) and channels across the tenant? If not directly possible, what alternatives or automation solutions, such as Microsoft Graph API, can be used for this purpose? I am looking for the most efficient approach, suitable for large-scale enterprise environments, without requiring manual interaction from individual users or team owners. Any insights, examples, or guidance on best practices would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.How to Deploy a Bot Application to All Chats and Channels in Microsoft Teams for Enterprise?
Hi, I have developed a bot application for Microsoft Teams and am looking for an enterprise-level solution to deploy it. The goal is to allow an admin to install the app across all chats and channels without requiring users or team owners to manually add the bot.By chat and channels I mean adding bot as a member in all chats and all channels. Specifically, I want to know: Is there a way to achieve this deployment through the Teams Admin Center or another native Microsoft Teams feature? Can the app be added automatically to all chats (personal and group) and channels across the tenant? If not directly possible, what alternatives or automation solutions, such as Microsoft Graph API, can be used for this purpose? Is it possible to add my bot application to private, shared and standard channels? I am looking for the most efficient approach, suitable for large-scale enterprise environments, without requiring manual interaction from individual users or team owners. Does MS Teams provides such a way. Any insights, examples, or guidance on best practices would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Microsoft Teams cache in a non-persistent environment
Hi all, My name is Koen and I am working with Microsoft Teams in a Dutch government organization. We like to offer our staff the ability to work from home, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. We already have enrolled Microsoft Teams in our desktop (it came out of nowhere and we are replacing the default web-downloader with the MSI file) For the record: We are using a non-persistent environment with VMWare Horizon Client and thin clients in the office, and mostly the web client when users are working from home. All of our users are having a profile where we store the temp files like caches and stuff. Also %AppData% is located in that profile. This data is presistent and will be availible on every boot, when they authenticate. But, we are looking for a way to change the Microsoft Teams cache location. We have limited disk space on the 'profile' disk. The problem is, that Microsoft Teams uses the folder %AppData%\Microsoft\Teams\Service Worker\CacheStorage as location of some caching files. The size of the folder is at least 200MB, and some other users are having a folder with at least 500MB cache. We have 200+ users, so when I calculate this ( 200(users)x200(MB) : 40.000MB/40GB for only the smallest caches. And the profile disk is only 100GB (for example) This is why we want to replace (or totally disable) the cache. I already looked in the newest Administrative Templates (for Office 365, 2016 and 2019) and the desktop-config.json - but I can't find the right way to do this. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
