Manually invite a Bot to a Microsoft Teams call

Question

I'm trying to build a bot that could join a Teams call, and then record its content. The problem i'm having is that i yet have not come to any solution to be able to add the bot to the call via the Teams UI.

Is there a way to do this? Its mentioned on Microsoft's documentation but there's nothing else about it. There's also an open Issue on Github but there hasn't been any updates in the past year.

Thanks

Regarding adding the bot to the meeting:

There's some sample code here. https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-comms-samples/blob/master/Samples/V1.0Samples/LocalMediaSamples/AudioVideoPlaybackBot/FrontEnd/Bot/Bot.cs

Specifically look at JoinCallAsync(), which will enable the bot to join the meeting, taking the input as meeting link.

I'm not sure if there is a way to invite a bot to the call, but the bot could defenitely join the meeting, given the teams meeting link.

(Of course, this would be under the assumption that the bot has sufficient graph permissions as listed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/calls-and-meetings/registering-calling-bot )
