Skype Channel: Unable to login with 'Sign in' to save your chat


I have enabled Skype channel for my bot which on top of chat window shows option to login. I am unable to login using my work ID, rather I could login with my personal Microsoft account.

I could not find much documentation on this. How can I enable bot so that bot users can login only with their work email id?


Solution

  • This is the expected behavior as Skype doesn't let you create an account anymore with a business email address. If you want to test your bot by connecting it to Skype channel, then you can use your personal account. The Skype for Business channel is specifically designed for the usage of work email ID but it is being deprecated on the Bot Framework. I would suggest you to connect the bot to Microsoft Teams to login using work email ID.
