Sharing bot with teammates

In order to ensure privacy and controlled access to the bot, it has been implemented such that users cannot see the bot unless provided with the bot embed code link.

Once users click on the provided link, the bot's display will appear in Teams, and it will function seamlessly thereafter. This approach guarantees that only authorized individuals can interact with the bot, maintaining a secure and controlled environment.
