Skype for business channel will be working after 6/30/2019?

Question

I want to do a chatbot for skype for business, but the docs:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skype-sdk/skype-for-business-bot-framework/docs/overview

says: " This channel will not be supported after 6/30/2019 "

Does this means that my chatbot will stop working in the future or that It will be still working but it will not have support for issues?

Thanks

Answer 1

Skype for Business bots will continue to work, they will just be not be supported. Additionally, you will not be able to create any new SfB connections/channels to your bots. Finally, any bots connected to SfB will stop working after October 31 2019.
