In Teams Toolkit V5, the default tunnel service is now the dev tunnel. To take advantage of this, you can upgrade your Teams Toolkit extension to V5.

If yo still want to use Teams Tolkit V4:

1. If you only want to setup ngrok auth token, follow these steps:
   1. Sign up for an ngrok account by visiting https://dashboard.ngrok.com/signup.
   2. Once you have signed up, go to https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/your-authtoken to access your personal ngrok authtoken. Copy it.
   3. Run the following command to set the ngrok authentication token:

      ~/.fx/bin/ngrok/node_modules/ngrok/bin/ngrok authtoken <YOUR AUTHTOKEN>

2. If you prefer to start your local tunnel service manually, you can follow these steps to use the dev tunnel CLI:
   1. Install dev tunnel cli.
   2. Login with your M365 Account using the command devtunnel user login.
   3. Start your local tunnel service by running the command devtunnel host -p 3978 --protocol http --allow-anonymous.
   4. Fill in the values for BOT_DOMAIN and BOT_ENDPOINT with your dev tunnel URL.
      • For the project created in Teams Toolkit V5, fill the values in the env/.env.local file.

        BOT_DOMAIN=sample-id-3978.devtunnels.ms
        BOT_ENDPOINT=https://sample-id-3978.devtunnels.ms

      • For the project created in Teams Toolkit V4, you can set botMessagingEndpoint arguments in Set up bot task.

        {
          "label": "Set up bot",
          "type": "teamsfx",
          "command": "debug-set-up-bot",
          "args": {
              ...
              // tell Teams Toolkit your message endpoint
              "botMessagingEndpoint": "https://sample-id.ngrok.io/api/messages",
          }
        },

3. If you're using the ngrok task in Teams Toolkit V4, please refer to this link for guidance on resolving any related issues.

Do I need to follow same above steps for bot framework application as well for unauthorized and 401 error?

[pschandekar09]

One more question which one is best option shall I implement bot framework or bot team toolbox application. My expectation is that implemented application should support multiple channels.

The steps mentioned above can resolve the unauthorized error when using Teams Toolkit with ngrok.

One more question which one is best option shall I implement bot framework or bot team toolbox application. My expectation is that implemented application should support multiple channels.

We recommend using the Teams Toolkit to develop the app for Teams. However, for other channels, manual integration is required.
