Important
Teams Toolkit doesn't support building apps for Government Community Cloud (GCC), GCC High, Department of Defense (DoD), and Teams operated by 21Vianet environments.
The following list provides the key features of Teams Toolkit:
Save time getting started with new Teams apps using the capability-focused templates for tabs, bots, message extensions, and common app scenarios.
Automate repetitive or tedious configuration using a composable task framework that creates app IDs, bot registrations, Microsoft Entra apps, and so on.
Test your app with different groupings of hosted resources by creating unique configurations such as dev, test, and prod using the Environments features.
You can access Teams Developer Portal where you can configure, publish, and manage your app. For more information, see manage your Teams apps using Developer Portal.
Run and debug your bot projects using Visual Studio Code and the included Dev Tunnels features.
Teams App Test Tool (Test Tool) makes debugging bot-based apps effortless. You can chat with your bot and see its messages and Adaptive Cards as they appear in Teams. You don’t need a Microsoft 365 developer account, tunneling, or Teams app and bot registration to use Test Tool. For more information, see Test Tool.
