How to get the channel name when integrating with Microsoft Teams

I have created a Microsoft Teams bot that can create/update conversations and receives all kinds of events to an endpoint (channel created, channel renamed, ...).

I'm interested in channel names.

I can see the channel name in the channelCreated and channelRenamed event. But what about channels that are created before my bot joines the team? How can I get those channel names using the Bot Service/Framework API?

I understand that I could get the channel name from the Graph API. But to get access to the Graph API as a bot, I have to perform the admin consent dance which I would like to avoid.

Use Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Teams.TeamsInfo:

var channels = await TeamsInfo.GetTeamChannelsAsync(turnContext).ConfigureAwait(false);
foreach (var channel in channels)
{
     System.Console.WriteLine(channel.Name);
}
