The Account for App Installation field in Brightspot then converts to a read-only field. - Under App for Team Bot, click to search for an existing Microsoft app. If you have not yet created a Microsoft app in Brightspot, see Adding a Microsoft App.
- Under Teams Bot URL, select a bot by pasting the address of the Open in Teams link that you copied in Step 4 of this topic.
