It includes features such as managing candidate information, adding interview questions, sharing assets, and capturing feedback in the meeting side panel.

Included Features

Bots
Meeting Chat
Meeting Sidepanel
Meeting Details

Interact with app

Try it yourself - experience the App in your Microsoft Teams client

Please find below demo manifest which is deployed on Microsoft Azure and you can try it yourself by uploading the app package (.zip file link below) to your teams and/or as a personal app. (Sideloading must be enabled for your tenant, see steps here).

Recruitment App Sample: Manifest

Prerequisites

NodeJS must be installed on your development machine (version 16.14.2 or higher).
dev tunnel or ngrok latest version or equivalent tunnelling solution
Teams Microsoft Teams is installed and you have an account
Teams Toolkit for VS Code or TeamsFx CLI

Run the app (Using Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code)

The simplest way to run this sample in Teams is to use Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code.

Ensure you have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Code
Install the Teams Toolkit extension
Select File > Open Folder in VS Code and choose this samples directory from the repo
Using the extension, sign in with your Microsoft 365 account where you have permissions to upload custom apps
Select Debug > Start Debugging or F5 to run the app in a Teams web client.
In the browser that launches, select the Add button to install the app to Teams.

If you do not have permission to upload custom apps (sideloading), Teams Toolkit will recommend creating and using a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account - a free program to get your own dev environment sandbox that includes Teams.

Setup

Register a new application in the Microsoft Entra ID – App Registrations portal.
```
 Go to App registrations and create a new app registration in a different tab.
```
Register an application. Fill out name and select third option for supported account type and click "Register".
- Copy and paste the App Id and Tenant ID somewhere safe. You will need it in a future step.
- Create Client Secret.
  - Navigate to the "Certificates & secrets" blade and add a client secret by clicking "New Client Secret".
- Copy and paste the secret somewhere safe. You will need it in a future step.
Setup for Bot
- In Azure portal, create a Azure Bot resource.
- Ensure that you've enabled the Teams Channel
- While registering the bot, use https://<your_tunnel_domain>/api/messages as the messaging endpoint. NOTE: When you create app registration, you will create an App ID and App password - make sure you keep these for later.
Create a Azure Storage account(This is needed to store/retrieve data that's used in the app) Create storage account

This step will create a storage account. You will require storage account name and keys in next steps.

Please follow View account keys to see the
keys info.

Setup NGROK

Run ngrok - point to port 3978
```
ngrok http 3978 --host-header="localhost:3978"
```
Alternatively, you can also use the dev tunnels. Please follow Create and host a dev tunnel and host the tunnel with anonymous user access command as shown below:
```
devtunnel host -p 3978 --allow-anonymous
```

Setup for code

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples.git

-Modify the keys.js file in the location samples/meeting-app/nodejs/api/server and fill in the [STORAGE ACCOUNT NAME] and [ACCESS KEY] for azure table storage.

We have two different solutions to run so follow below steps:

A) In a terminal, navigate to samples/meeting-recruitment-app/nodejs/api

B) In a different terminal, navigate to samples/meeting-recruitment-app/nodejs/clientapp
- In both the terminal run
  
  npm install
  
  npm start

Setup Manifest for Teams

This step is specific to Teams.
- Edit the manifest.json contained in the ./appManifest folder to replace your Microsoft App Id (that was created when you registered your app registration earlier) everywhere you see the place holder string <<APP-ID>> (depending on the scenario the Microsoft App Id may occur multiple times in the manifest.json)
- Edit the manifest.json for <<BASE-URL>> and replace <<BASE-URL>> with base Url of your domain. E.g. if you are using ngrok it would be https://1234.ngrok-free.app then your domain-name will be 1234.ngrok-free.app and if you are using dev tunnels then your domain will be like: 12345.devtunnels.ms.
- Zip up the contents of the appManifest folder to create a manifest.zip (Make sure that zip file does not contains any subfolder otherwise you will get error while uploading your .zip package)
Upload the manifest.zip to Teams (in the Apps view click "Upload a custom app")
- Go to Microsoft Teams. From the lower left corner, select Apps
- From the lower left corner, choose Upload a custom App
- Go to your project directory, the ./appManifest folder, select the zip folder, and choose Open.
- Select Add in the pop-up dialog box. Your app is uploaded to Teams.

Note: If you are facing any issue in your app, please uncomment this line and put your debugger for local debug.
