Skype Bots - Visual Cards or HTML responses


I've started looking into developing Skype Bots and I'm a bit confused on how my bot can respond with something other than plain text. I watched a video on How to build a bot for Skype from the Build 2016 conference and they mentioned something about Visual Cards. Basically a visual card seems to be a clickable image with text and/or a carousel of clickable images. Anyways... I basically want to send the user something nice and pretty that they can click to obtain more information. Thank you for any direction you can give.


Solution

  • Supported capabilities in Skype are shown at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/bots/docs. These do not currently include rich cards but hopefully something that isn't too far away.
