I face the same issue, please help on this issue. If it was because we need a new version of teams?

We are facing the same issue here. It is showing on the sidebar but not on the main chat window.

Hi @brnowakowski, @tracyboehrer We reproduced the error, but when debugging the code, we found that BotFramework is sending the typing indicator activity without any problem. We believe the error is located in the new version of Teams that is not able to recognize the typing activity.

[GitWizardGaurav]

Exactly , typing activity is working as expected in older versions of teams while its not there in new teams version, any update on by when will that be there

@tracyboehrer @JhontSouth @ceciliaavila Typing activity is showing on old versions of teams including both desktop and web version. This issue is only happening with new teams desktop, web and mobile. Also, you can see typing activity on new teams is showing on side bar messages when switch to different contact while bot is typing. So the issue is only happening with main chat window.

[tracyboehrer]

This is a confirmed issue with Teams. They have reported a fix is rolling out. However, I don't have an ETA on when that rollout will complete.

same here, just adding that on Microsoft Bot Framework the typing is also shown correctly

[jamesemann]

@tracyboehrer do you have any visibility to when the teams client fix might be available? I appreciate it is not your team , so anything you can share would be appreciated.

[rliberoff]

Hello!

We are facing the same issue, but with the classic Teams app (not the new one).

Is there any update on when this is going to be fixed?

Thank you!

[tracyboehrer]

Closing as this is a Teams issue and their fix should have been live for some time now.

[jdiaddigo-tiger]

You would definitely think there would be a fix by now. Unfortunately there is not, and the issue persists in Teams.

[tracyboehrer]

@jdiaddigo-tiger I'll ping Teams about the issue. They indicated to me that it was rolling out.

[axen2u]

@tracyboehrer The issue has been fixed on New Teams, and Teams Web. Thanks.

[jdiaddigo-tiger]

Confirmed -- thank you!
