Issue with Streaming Responses in Bot Framework Using Direct Line Channel

Hi Team,

We have enabled the streaming option in our bot built using the Azure Bot Framework. We are connecting the bot to various channels using the Direct Line channel.

While the streaming option has been successfully enabled, it does not seem to be working as expected. The stream is not functioning properly — instead of a smooth streaming response, it behaves more like a standard response (delayed or chunked in unexpected ways).

Here’s a snippet or scenario showing the issue User's image

Could you please help us understand what might be going wrong? Are there any additional configurations or limitations we should be aware of when using Direct Line with streaming?

Thanks in advance!
