I have a Teams bot I deployed through the teams-ai library. Deployed on Azure. Its not yet approved by the teams admin center, hence only visible to me. I have access to the Azure portal and the O365 entra admin center. I tried changing the name on those, but it seems the name is changed in some areas, but not in others.

User's image

This screenshot shows the new name, but when I press "about" or tag the bot in a message using @, it shows the old name.

It is visible with the new name in both the azure and the O365 portal. Both configurations were changed

Is there a way to do this within azure and the O365 entra admin portal? Preferably without redeploying the whole thing.

    I am new to Teams app development (and development in general), just started my first app a month ago, but I think the first screenshot shows the bot name and the 2nd screenshot shows the app name.

    Check if you see your app in https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/apps/ and try changing the name there.

    Bot name should be changeable from https://dev.botframework.com/bots
