+### Limitations
+
+Teams bots cannot be installed to a single standard channel only. When a bot is declared with the `team` scope, installation occurs at the team level and the bot is visible across the team’s standard channels. This behavior is by design and cannot be restricted by manifest settings or runtime code. In standard teams, the General channel has special identity behavior, including a channel ID that matches the team ID. Bots are not supported in private or shared channels in the same way as standard channel conversations.
