Step 1 - Open PowerShell as administrator.
Step 2 - Execute the following command:
Update-Module MicrosoftTeams
Step 3 - Execute the following command:
Connect-MicrosoftTeams
Step 4 - A login prompt will show up. Provide the user credentials.
Registering the bot as a Teams application
Step 5 - Execute the following command. At the <UPN> part, provide a unique UPN for the recording bot, for example, verbabot@contoso.com. Provide something at the <displayName> part, it can be anything. Replace the <botAppId> part with the application ID from the previous section (Creating the Microsoft Teams Recording Bot - Step 13).
New-CsOnlineApplicationInstance -UserPrincipalname <UPN> -DisplayName '<displayName>' -ApplicationId <botAppId>
Step 6 - In the command results, take note of the ObjectId. It will be needed later.
Step 7 - Execute the following command. Replace the <ObjectId> part with the ID from the results of the previous command.
