Edit your bot's MSA info

Edit your bot's MSA info

I removed the App Id and password and tried to run it locally then it’s working properly.

I researched around the internet and could not find any solutions that solves my problem. Please help.

Thanks in Advance

Because you are trying to access a Bot Service which is deployed on Azure on the emulator locally. Try removing the MsAPPID and Password. It will work. The emulator is meant to test the bots locally without deploying. — Kunal Mukherjee
Give the endpoint as http://localhost:3979/api/Messages while testing locally and not the Azure endpoint. — Kunal Mukherjee
How can I test my bot using published url in bot framework emulator — sateesh
You can only test bots locally in the emulator, make changes and publish it again. When you make changes and publish it again, the changes will reflect in Azure. — Kunal Mukherjee
You are just getting a HTTP 401 which is Unauthorized request. For debugging published bots, try using ngrok. — Kunal Mukherjee

you can try using http://localhost:3979/api/Messages in your bot emulator but do not enter any kind of id and password and also remove it from your web.config

like this shown in below picture:

And hit ctrl+f5 and then try. It will start working on your local environment.

For remote debugging you need to use the ngork.

do let me know in case you need more clarification.
