Microsoft Azure Bot App Skype Channel not Working - azure

I have now spent too much time on this issue and still can't seem to fix it.
I have an Azure Bot and I have configured it for Microsoft Teams and Skype.
They do not seem to be working.
The Skype Bot Publish is still 'inReview', I can add the Bot as a contact on skype/teams and when I send a message it is 'Sent' according to Skype, but I do not get a reply.
The Azure Webchat (Test in Webchat) works flawlessly on the Azure Web interface.
There must be something that I'm missing?
Since the last update there does not seem to be an updated how to or explanation to the newly added fields.
When you publish the Skype channel there is an option:
Bot website? What should be put here?
Also on the Calling section:
Webhook (for calling)
Thank you.

Can't talk to QnAMaker bot in Azure or Teams, but can locally with emulator

I created a QnAMaker bot through the website https://www.qnamaker.ai, which then took me through the steps creating the bot in Azure.
When I click on the Test in Web Chat section of the bot in Azure, before I've even typed anything, an error message arrives in Channels > Web Chat > Issues that states: "There was an error sending this message to your bot: HTTP status code Unauthorized"
I have download the code of the bot locally, and running it with npm, using ngrok and the Bot Emulator, I have successfully managed to connect to the bot and it works.
I haven't touched the AppID or Password in the Bot's settings in Azure, and these are the same credentials I used for the local bot that works.
Could someone please help?
Thanks
I solved this by removing the bot entirely and creating a brand new one. I think the issue with some sort of mix up with the AppID and AppPassword, even though they were both correct in the settings

ConversationUpdate not firing from Teams bot user added event NodeJs SDK v4

I've been trying to implement the preview version of Microsoft's BotFramework for NodeJS SDK v4 on Teams as mentioned here. I've set up the messaging endpoint in the Azure portal and I'm able to receive the message events just fine.
I've tried out other bots in the Teams Store such as Hipmunk and they seem to be able to proactively message the users as soon as they get added on to the work space.
I've been through the documentation already and I know that I would need to work upon a ConversationUpdate event that fires in the event of a bot user being added to a team, but unfortunately I haven't received any such events. I've wired it up to be able to receive it because the handlers do work when I test the bot in web chat on the Azure portal. Is this some sort of bug in the Teams client itself or is there any alternative documentation that I've been missing. Please let me know if any code samples or further links are required to aid you in helping me as this is a pretty critical integration for me and my company.

Slack messages do not reach Azure

So I have an issue to make the communication possible between Slack and BotFramework. I deploied once a bot on Slack to test the deployment and everything was working fine. I worked on another bot and when I try to deploy it there is no message reaching the bot on Azure.
Since I can not see errors on Azure or from Slack, I think my issue does not come from my code. What seems very strange is that I did not get any message from Slack telling me that the messages can not reach the bot and yet I can not see message reaching Azure.
I use this to install the bot on Slack https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-service-channel-connect-slack except that I did not suscribe to events which was working fine with my initial deployment.
I tried with a sample bot, I got the same issue. So I must be missing something about the configuration.
My bot is working fine with cortana and directline.
First thing I'd try is to find out if the problem is on the Slack side or the Bot Service side.
To test out the Bot Service side:
Have you tried running in the test chat?
Or tried debugging the bot service on your local machine?
If it helps, I've written up a little tutorial on how to debug a bot service.
Hope that helps!

New bot not answering messages in microsoft teams

I'm running a bot with Microsoft Teams and have it setup in Azure. It's a demo bot from the bot builder code Microsoft released. I'm pointing it to a local server that has ngrok running. This works fine when I test via Web Chat in Azure but it doesn't work at all when working with Teams.
The app sideloads properly and the manifest is accepted by teams. No response appears to be making it to the server. When I click to show the Bot Channels in Azure some kind of OPTIONS query is being sent to the server and the demo bot throws a 405 error.
The bot id is f22039b8-5400-4569-a0f2-5bdceb8431f2 but I can't talk to it in 1:1 chat either when I specify this ID.
There are no logs in Azure or teams- I don't see any errors, so I have no idea how to start debugging this.
This is a link to someone with the exact same question:
Bot not answering messages in microsoft teams
There is currently a bug in our bot registration code that is causing this. We are currently investigating its root cause.
As a workaround, add the Skype channel and the MS Teams channel to the bot.

Can I use Skype Web SDK to build a IM Chat Bot for Skype for Business/Skype?

I need to be able to initiate a connection from the bot to a SfB user. The bot will be making the connection as a published Web App on Azure.
The bot can have its own SfB id and will message people from there.
If it can be achieved for Skype instead of SfB, I'd still like to know how I would go about implementing a solution for that.
The Bot term here is misleading me a bit, but from the scenario you mentioned, it sounds like a chat between a Web App using the Skype Web SDK and an SfB client. As long as the Web App is using a SfB creds, that should be possible.
You can't use SfB with bot framework right at the moment. But you can use skype instead. To create a bot which work with the skype please follow the below steps.
First register a new bot inside the bot framework. Click here. Keep in mind that you need Microsoft account for that.(outlook, live)
Then download bot application template from here. Save the zip file to your Visual Studio 2015 templates directory which is traditionally in “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#"
After that you can download bot emulator to check your bot from here
Add your AppId and AppSecret (You can find that from the bot registration dash board) inside web config file. Then run your application and check whether you get the same wording you send through the emulator.
If all are working you can connect it to the skype like this. First go to dashboard in web. Enable skype and there you can find few steps to follow. If you success with that steps you can see your bot inside your skype where you can communicate. *For publish to public crowd it takes time and your bot go through a quality process which handle by Microsoft.
FYI - Skype for Business was announced as a new channel today on Build 2017 :)
