Google Hangouts Unable to Insert File in Hangout Conversation - browser

Can anyone tell me what's going wrong based on the message below? I was able to insert/attach a file inside of a Google Hangouts conversation, but when I try now this is what I get:
There was an error!
Details:
Invalid credentials (missing or invalid oAuth token)
I have logged in and out, rebooted, logged out of Chrome and signed back in.
Appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Steve

I was looking for this feature today morning and realize that unfortunately this doesn't exist. The productsforum # google is full of requests for this feature, see link below for your reference.

I tried to drag and drop a music audio file on the chat window of the hangout browser and this is the error message that I received:
Per this image, it's obvious that hangouts only supports sharing of very specific image files as listed.

How to find KnowledgebaseId in Dialogflow?

// const knowledgeBaseId = `the ID of your KnowledgeBase`;
I can't seem to find the knowledgebase ID in Dialogflow nor in the Cloud Console. Please help.
It's weird I my self couldn't find the KnowledgeBaseId even though I skimmed through dialogflow docs several times. But after several hours of searching I found a way that we could get it.
You should go to the the Knowledge base you created and right side there is chat window where you can test your chatbot response.
Type anything and you'll get a response card and below that there is an option called Diagnostic info.
Click it and you'll see the RAW API response and there you can see the KnowledgeBaseId inside it (it may be referred as source there). It should be in the format Format: projects/<Project ID>/knowledgeBases/<Knowledge Base ID>

Dialogflow works in test console, but not via google assistant

I have a smart home dialogflow webhook working from the google actions test console, but when I speak to a google home device, there is no sign that my intents are being recognized. E.g., I enter “Home temperature?” in the console, I can see it calling my webhook, executing my script, and responding with “The temperature is 72 degrees.”
But when I say: “Hey Google, Home temperature” to my google home device, it says my nest device is not registered, or something like that. I.e., it is what it would say if I did not have smart home action intents registered with google actions.
I am unable to find anything in the docs or by web searches which says what I am supposed to do to get my google assistant devices to recognize my custom intent phrases.
Does anyone have this working? The Smart Home integration is not supposed to require a lead in, like “Hey Google, Ask whoever, Home temperature”, Right? That is only for “conversation mode” integrations, correct? My understanding is that “Smart Home” mode does not require a lead-in. Please correct me if that is incorrect…
Either way, my voice requests through my Google Home are not recognized.
Please, any advice for what I am missing or how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm new to Stack Overflow, and I didn't find this "dialogflow" group until posting in another group. So I am reposting here. Sorry if this is redundant. I could not find how to delete the original post...
It sounds like I was wrong about the "Hey Google, talk to ..." requirement for Dialogflow.
The "Smart Home" mode does not preclude this. You cannot just say, "Hey Google, home temperature?", you have to say, "Hey Google, ask [my dialogflow app], home temperature?"
Furthermore, unless you Publish your app, the response will always say, "Alright, here's the test version of [my dialogflow app]...
Between the two, it pretty much ruins it for me... Off to the drawing board.

Publishing UWP App with Edge and Chrome extension

for a my UWP App I have created an extension for Edge and Chrome.
I have tried to create a new submission to the store but I have received the following errors:
com.microsoft.edge.extension is a reserved extension type. Your app does not have permission to use this extension type. To request permission, please use our extension submission form: https://aka.ms/extension-request
Your developer account doesn’t have permission to submit apps converted with the Desktop Bridge at this time. https://aka.ms/desktopbridgeforwindowsstore
I have fill the module at https://aka.ms/extension-request and at https://aka.ms/desktopbridgeforwindowsstore but, after 1 month, I didn't received any response.
Somebody know what I have to do in order to continue with the submission?
Does somebody have any experiences on that?
P.S.: I have sent a post at the MSDN forum and I have asked support at the Microsoft Answers but anybody was able to help me on that.
Thank you,

Skype Echo Bot for NodeJS: Messages Not Appearing in Skype App

I am following this Echo Bot Tutorial, and have gone through all of the basic steps regarding setup and registration. I am following the steps (near the bottom) regarding local testing, and have been using ngrok successfully.
I was able to add my Skype Bot as a contact, and I also have the latest version of the Skype app (Mac). When I send a message to the bot via the Skype app, I see the message appear in the debug notes in my terminal window. So I know that the messages I type are coming through.
I also see this:
skype-sdk.MessagingServiceClientV2 Sending message to 8:username with content Hey 8:username. Thank you for your message: "test".
However, I do not see any kind of reply in my Skype application. My expectation is that the bot would echo back my message to me.
My questions are:
1) When testing locally using the ngrok method described in the tutorial, should I be able to see activity from the Skype bot (in terms of messages to me)?
2) I am guessing this may be some an authentication issue? How can I best troubleshoot things, and get the Skype bot to actually respond in the Skype app?
I feel like I am incredibly close to getting this working, in that the messages I send are coming through... but the messages I expect from the Skype bot are not coming through. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated!
Found the fix, and posting it here should anyone else run into the same issue.
During the setup process, when I was using the Application Registration Portal, I selected the wrong string as my Application Secret.
Originally, I clicked on Generate New Key Pair, which resulted in a new entry appearing in the admin labeled Private Key. I used this string as my App Secret.
However, it appears that what I should have done was click on Generate New Password and used *that string instead**. Just gave it a try, and my bot is now responding back to me locally (in the Skype app), when testing with ngrok.
I think this particular distinction could have been made clearer in the documentation, as I lost a great deal of time due to this one oversight. Oh well, at least I can start developing now...

Browser Said Invalid Request When I Tried to Access a Picture of Instagram

Recently, I wrote an app to synchronize photos in my Instagram to another platform. The GET /v1/users/self/media/recent?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN result should contains the links to my pictures, like
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/s640x640/e35/sh0.08/11330602_751572388302808_972254350_n.jpg,
and it went very well. But today after clicking the link, it told me Invalid Request. I'm not sure what happened to this cdn link. Any hints would be appreciated.
