bot still needs to be mentioned to receive meesages even with RSC permissions

[SlimenTN]

I want the bot to read messages even without being mentioned, this is my manifest file:

{
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.14/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json",
    "manifestVersion": "1.14",

        "termsOfUseUrl": "https://www.example.com/privacy"
    },
    "icons": {

    },

        {
            "botId": "{{state.fx-resource-bot.botId}}",
            "scopes": [
                "personal",
                "team",
                "groupchat"
            ],
            "supportsFiles": true,
            "isNotificationOnly": false,
            "supportsCalling": false,
            "supportsVideo": false
        }
    ],
    "permissions": [
        "identity",
        "messageTeamMembers"
    ],

                    "name": "ChannelMessage.Read.Group"
                },
                {
                    "type": "Application",
                    "name": "ChatMessage.Read.Chat"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "validDomains": [
        "{{state.fx-resource-bot.domain}}",
        "token.botframework.com"
    ],
    "webApplicationInfo": {
        "id": "{{state.fx-resource-bot.botId}}",
        "resource": "https://AnyString"
    },
    "devicePermissions": [
        "notifications"
    ]
}

I'm using MSTeams toolkit in VScode to create this bot so the id is being generated by it (I don't have Azure account yet). when lunching the bot locally it works, I can add it to chats and receive messages but if only it was mentioned.

My bot extends the TeamsActivityandler interface:

class TeamsBot extends TeamsActivityHandler {
    this.onMessage(async (context, next) => {
      console.log(context.activity);
   }
}

@SlimenTN - Could you please check with the samples mentioned here and verify if that works? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/conversations/channel-messages-with-rsc?tabs=channel%2Cdotnet#code-sample FYI, we have tried with below sample and we can receive channel messages with RSC without being @mentioned.

@Prasad-MSFT did you try in chat with someone else or in a channel? when I run it using the local configuration, vscode opens a chrome window with Teams and then open the installation window and instead of clicking on "Add" I click on the small arrow right newt to it and click on "Add to chat" the bot gets added successfully but if I write a message I don't see and when I mention the bot and write a message I receive it!

@SlimenTN - We did try it in channel/group chat scope, and it worked there.

[SlimenTN]

@Prasad-MSFT ok you're right, it works as expected in channels and chat but with someone from the same organization. However, I've tested it in a chat with a guest (not in the same org) it intercept messages only if I mention the bot! does the chat with an extern requires another permission?

[Prasad-MSFT]

We tested by creating chat with guest user and it works there as well without at mentioning the bot. No extra permission needs to be added.
