Deploying a Bot in On Premises Ms Teams server

I am building a bot with the Microsoft Bot Framework using node.js and so far testing with emulator, now i need to deploy my bot to on premises MS Teams server. What are the necessary steps before the deployment

Solution

  • Skype for Business bots can be connected to the Skype for Business Server users if hybrid connectivity has been deployed in the environment. (documentation) Supported Skype for Business versions

    Please not that the Skype for Business Bot Framework channel is still in Developer Preview and really limited compared to other channels. Not everything which is possible in the emulator (like cards and buttons) is possible on the Skype for Business channel.
