  # determine dotnet version
  dotnet --version

• Teams Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account

• Ngrok (For local environment testing) Latest (any other tunneling software can also be used)

Setup.

1. Run ngrok - point to port 3978 ngrok http -host-header=rewrite 3978

2. Create AAD app registration in Azure portal and also register a bot with Azure Bot Service, following the instructions here.

   • Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
   • While registering the bot, use https://<your_ngrok_url>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint.

     NOTE: When you create your bot you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.

3. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

4. If you are using Visual Studio

• Launch Visual Studio
• File -> Open -> Project/Solution
• Navigate to samples\meetings-sidepanel\csharp folder
• Select SidePanel.sln file and open the solution

5. Setup and run the bot from Visual Studio: Modify the appsettings.json and fill in the following details:

   • <<Microsoft-App-Secret>> - Generated from Step 2, also referred to as Client secret
   • <<Your_Domain_URL>> - Your application's base url. E.g. https://12345.ngrok.io if you are using ngrok.

   • <> with any random GUID or your MicrosoftAppId from AAD app registration.
   • <<YOUR-MICROSOFT-APP-ID>> with Application id generated from Step 2
