Can't get team using Graph API and Teams free - microsoft-graph-api

Are there any known issues with using the Graph API to talk to Teams, when it's the free offer?
I can authenticate to the Graph endpoint and retrieve my user details, setting the AAD tenant to my "default directory". If I look at my group memberships with GET /me/memberOf, I can see that there are Microsoft 365 groups for each of my teams. But as soon as I try to do anything Teams-related, like GET /teams/{group_id} I get a 403 error: "Failed to execute Skype backend request GetThreadS2SRequest."

cannot access contacts from MS graph

I try to retrieve a list of all contacts that are added to our microsoft 365 admin, I login in the graph explorer with the account that has access to the admin center and grant permission to read contacts but still get this error:
The mailbox is either inactive, soft-deleted, or is hosted on-premise
Why is that?
Looks like you don't have valid M365 license assigned. You are getting this error because no Exchange Online mailbox is available to use for the azure ad user who do not have a valid M365 license. Please note that Exchange Online mailbox and outlook calendars will only be available/created for the users with a valid M365 license.
you can check the link, if you have valid subscription - https://outlook.office.com/mail

MS Graph API Authentication | MS Teams | Bot framework

I am new to bot development. I am working on creating a MS Teams bot using bot framework. The bot will be installed in ‘Personal’ scope in Teams, and it doesn’t have any tab / messaging extension etc. Once installed, I want to get the list of all the members/ channels/ Notification updates (i.e. members added/deleted etc.). As per the different documentation, I can get the list using Graph API.
List members of team - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
List members of a channel - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
To achieve this, I need the token that will be passed in API. I am not sure how to implement that. I have followed the instructions mentioned in Add authentication to a bot in Bot Framework SDK - Bot Service | Microsoft Docs. There was a step to add ‘Add OAuth Connection Settings’ and there were multiple options in ‘Service Provider’. I selected ‘Azure Active Directory v2’. After doing that, it works and I can get the token, but it only works if during login, I user my azure directory credentials. I have a Microsoft account linked with my MS Teams which id different than the Azure account. A user in team can have a Microsoft account / work / office account so this needs to work for everyone so what would be the correct ‘Service Provider’ option that will work for all accounts?
I was thinking that the flow should be like:
When clicks on ‘Add’ button to install the app in Teams
Once added, bot will prompt for Graph API permission using OAuth.
Once user gives the permission, I can use the token to call graph APIs.
I have also looked at the following tutorials:
How to use Bot Framework Composer to build low-code Microsoft Teams bots (Part 1)
Get user profile information in your Microsoft Teams bot with Microsoft Graph (Part 2) - YouTube
But after performing all the steps, when I try to login, it says – ‘This action can't be performed since the app does not exist or has been uninstalled.’.
I am not getting a clear approach on how to proceed with it.
As #Maxim has also suggested, if you want to have a bot that should run multitenant you need to put tenant Id as common in OAuth Setting in Azure bot. As the value suggest it isn't going to specific to single tenant and Redirect Uri should be set to https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect in app registration.
This is it, you don't need to add anything.
This is also mention in the doc --
We have some sample around it as well that shows how to use Graph API with the bot -
https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/main/samples/csharp_dotnetcore/24.bot-authentication-msgraph
You can setup this one and update the Graph calls to get member of team or channels.

Microsoft Graph API: Is there a way to get the user's acitivity feed of teams?

We want to get the number of acitivities for a user, which is also shown as badge in the teams app.
I didn't found any direct way. Does anyone found a way to achieve this indirectly?
There is no such way to get all the activity of an user in Teams.
You can look into Subscription Graph API. It allows a client app to receive change notifications about changes to data in Microsoft Graph. Currently, subscriptions are enabled for the following resources:
An alert from the Microsoft Graph Security API
A conversation in an Office 365 group
Content in the hierarchy of a root folder driveItem
in OneDrive for Business, or of a root folder or subfolder driveItem
in a user's personal OneDrive
A list under a SharePoint site
A message, event, or contact in Outlook
A user or group in Azure Active Directory
See Use the Microsoft Graph API to get change notifications for the possible resource path values for each supported resource.

Accessing and creating Teams Chats via Graph API

I'm going over the Microsoft Teams section of the Graph API and trying to find out how to do two things:
Create a new chat, giving it a topic that correlates to an entity in our app (essentially creating a chat around an entity), invite specific users into it, and send messages to the chat.
Access the currently logged-in user's private chats, filtered by their topic, and show their contents inside our app.
For #2, it looks like it should be possible using beta endpoint of the Graph API, but I get 403 Forbidden errors both in the Graph Explorer when trying to access https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats, and in my own app, after enabling the Chat.Read permissons for it.
For #1, it looks like the API doesn't officially support creating new chats at all.
Is there any approach we can use to create and manage chats? Is there an alternative, perhaps not MicrosoftGraph-based API?
as you mention, the ms graph doesn't yet support initiating group chat. You would use the MS Bot Framework for this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/bots/bot-conversations/bots-conv-proactive
I see the docs on these Chat api do exist, but they are not present in the Graph Explorer. I tired testing them in the OfficeApiEditor tool with a v2.0 App Registration and Delegated permissions (Chat.Read) and i get this:
Failure - Status Code 500
"code": "InternalServerError",
"message": "Error while processing response.",
so maybe it will take some time before they are really available in beta.
In MS teams, there is a api called ChatMessage to post a message to a chat(only if the chat already exist or started). But, there is no api to create/start a new chat. I have raised a feature request. Do vote for this to suggest this idea to Microsoft.

How to access a group calendar using Microsoft Graph Api?

I'm trying to access a group calendar using the microsoft graph api as the application (I don't want to use delegate permissions).
If I request calendar events using the below I get the events for the user just fine.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/[emailAddress]/events
If I make a request to the following I get group information:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/[groupId]/
If I make a request to this:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/[groupId]/events
I get "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again."
In azure portal, I've given my app service the following Application permissions:
Calendars.Read
Calendars.Read.Shared
Group.Read.All
User.Read.All
What am I missing?
Applications permissions to list events is currently not supported. Also, listing events using delegated permissions with a Personal accounts is not supported. Please refer to List Events documentation which has the details. You can also refer to known limitations of Graph here.
A user voice on this feature request is also available here and you can upvote the same so that the product team can include into their plans.
