Skype bot can not be added to group chat


I'm developing a bot for Skype and enabled setting that allows to add this bot to Group Chats. However, when I click to "Add People" button, I can see only the real people, but Skype Bots are hidden there (even the official ones).

There is an official doc that Skype bot can be added to the group chat as regular Skype account, but I am not able to do it.

My bot is not published, but one on one conversation works well. Also, in the private chat with Bot I can add people to conversation and thus I can create a group with this bot, but the main question is how to add the bot to the existing group chat?


Solution

  • Finally I was able to add it to the group by opening Web Skype and then opening the private chat with my Bot.

    Web Skype showed me a message "Add SkotBot to your contacts" which is very strange because it was already on my contact list. After clicking to this link bot is displayed on the "Add People" list.
