Typing Indicator Event for ACS Chat in .NET SDK

Question

This is a question about the Typing Indicator functionality specifically in ACS when using the .NET SDK. I have consumed all other events. I am aware that the typing indicator event is included with the 'Real-Time Events' package which is not yet available on .NET. The chart below, however, lists "Get notified when participants are actively typing a message in a chat thread" as available under Core Features across all SDKs. The only documentation I can find is regarding "SendTypingNotification" and I can't find any documentation as to how to consume this event (apart from the Real-Time Events which are marked as not available for .NET).

Can someone advise as to where I can consume this event correctly (without yet having access to the Real-Time Events as per JS/iOS/Android)?

Thanks!

Hi @Justin Rogowski ! sorry for the lack of clarity here, let me check in with the feature team and get back to you with more guidance (and updated docs ;) )

Answer 2

@Justin Rogowski - quick update:

The doc, as you pointed out, is not accurate. The typing indicator functionality is only available through 'real-time notifications' which is only supported for JavaScript/Android/iOS currently.

I pushed an update to the table you shared to reflect that Java, .NET, and Python are not supported for this feature.

Thank you for the feedback!

Hi Manoskow - As of now we are using GetMessages API to display incoming messages to users and excluded 'com.microsoft', module: 'trouter-client-android' dependency to resovle the duplicate issue but not able to get real time notifications which is blocking us on showing TypingIndicator and ReadReceipt. Is there any work around for this?
