I'm struggling to write a post and get Teams to work correctly. If I include two links in the text and then post a url that I want to render a description and thumbnail -- it fails and renders the very first link. Every time. I wish you had a QA team. If this is by design then please fire that person. Solution is NOT to write the content in an external text editor then try to format it correctly inside Teams because it I can't get the URL I want to produce a thumbnail unless it's the first link, which makes no sense. Sheesh.

2023-06-27T17:20:38.5333333+00:00 5 min to write a post 2 hours to figure out how to post it. MS is the opposite of productivity and I can't get IT to understand how crippling MS UX is.

2023-06-27T17:26:46.4233333+00:00 ok found a hack. It's always a hack with MS because you don't have any designers. Hack is to enter a period "." first and make that into a link. Because MS Teams is so dumb it can only recognize the first link, you must fool it into rendering your content correctly, but you have to be sneaky because otherwise it's confusing to the reader.

Thanks for visiting our forum.
When the Teams client publishes a link, one is recognized and appears at the end of the text. This is by design. You can choose to remove it, which will not affect the content in any way. If you have any product feature feedback, please raise in Teams UserVoice or by contacting Microsoft 365 Product Support.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!

2023-06-28T06:57:24.4566667+00:00 Please reread the question. The problem is I cannot add the thumbnail and description. It’s designed very poorly.
try it, I dare you to post a block of text with three links and have the last link produced a thumbnail.
MS really needs to disallow the practice of letting their engineers “design” the software and push the code without QA testing.

2023-06-28T07:28:15.1233333+00:00 Hi
According to my tests, the added link will only recognize the first appended to the text. The text link recognizes the first. To get this feature faster, I've submitted feedback. Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience, some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service. Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.

2023-06-28T07:33:14.63+00:00 I have like 30 feedback requests for hiring designers. I’m unsure why they can’t figure out why everything is so badly built.
