Investigate

As per my conversation with @jimmidier, this is a known issue due to breaking changes in ngrok v3.

Downgrading to ngrok v2 can solve this problem. But ngrok will force you to upgrade to v3 if you are a free account. So we have to wait for the issue to be fixed.

There is a workaround for it for local testing - Use Teams | SSWSophieBotDev bot.

Change the SSWSophieBotDev | Messaging endpoint to ngrok endpoint
Test in Teams
