I decided to try moving my working Skype bot from the Skype API to the Microsoft Bot Framework. Once the SSL connection was working, I tested sending a message to my actual application from Skype itself. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the part where I'm supposed to use the dev web Skype app; so, my application was receiving messages in the structure defined by the Skype API. It was not receiving messages from the bot framework. So, I deleted the Skype bot.
Now, I've realized that the MBF doesn't seem to actually... do anything? I'm still supposed to create a Skype bot, in addition to having an MBF bot?
At any rate, I'm trying to recreate the Skype bot, but the "Create a new bot" button is greyed out:
Right below that is a link that seems to imply that I will be creating the bot on the MBF. But, as mentioned above, the MBF wants me to create a Skype bot:
Ahhhhhh!
