MS Skype bot isn't responding

Question

I use Azure to create my bot. The Telegram, Web and S4B channels works as expected, but the Skype channel doesn't work. I don't get any error.

To create the Skype channel I just click the "Add channel" link and add the new contact to my Skype contacts. Is it enough?

Could you please help me? Thank you.

If you want to connect Skype to your bot, all you need to do is click on the Skype option in the 'Add a featured channel' and then configure the settings in Web control, Messaging, Calling, Groups and Publish.

• In your case, click on the 'Messaging' tab and make sure that the 'enable messaging' option is selected. Once your changes are saved, you can add the bot to your contacts and it will work.
• Skype can take up to 15 minutes to propagate the settings changes. Wait for a few minutes before sending a message to the bot.
• If it still doesn't work, delete the channel and again following the steps above to add the Skype channel to your bot. You can also use ngrok to debug any channel locally.
