I've created a bot (a simple echo bot) and deployed it to Azure. Everything works well now and I can talk to the bot in the desktop Skype client (Windows 10 app).

However, I can't seem to be able to add the bot to an existing group chat. When I click on the add button the list of contacts to add doesn't have my bot in it, which is weird because I've added it to my contacts.

^ According to that post I need to create a "private chat" with my bot and then I'll be able to add it to group chats, but I have no idea how to do that.

I haven't published my bot, but I did enable "Allow adding to a group" in bot settings on https://dev.botframework.com.

Any idea why it's not working?

Private chat is talking directly to your bot. If you have added it to your contacts, it should be easy to open a direct conversation with it by double clicking.

Then you can add people in the conversation using the top right button: button add people

Then you will have your group chat working:

groupChat

Note for other people asking the same question (but you already mentioned that you did it), don't forget to activate the group conversation for your bot in botframework portal, in Skype channel settings
