View precise timestamps in Teams?

Question

Is it possible to somehow view precise timestamps of when outgoing messages were sent and when incoming messaged were received in Teams? Like down to the milliseconds?

I can see what minute they were sent and received, but nothing more specific:

I'm trying to compare performance for a couple different backend setups for a bot I'm working on, so I wanted to just subtract the outgoing message time from the incoming message time and use that as the round-trip value. That's probably a pretty janky way of timing it but it's the best / easiest idea I have right now. :)

I tried enabling developer mode for Teams, which gave me a dev-tools window, but I didn't see anything in there that looked like what I needed. I was sort of able to get a reading of when messages are going out and coming in by looking at the requests in Fiddler, but I'm not sure how accurate those numbers are (or if I'm even looking at the right values).

Hi @Gregory Moore

The timestamp can only display to minutes. I didn’t find a workaround for the display now.

I have created a feedback about this feature by this link: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/41558056-ms-teams-group-chat-replies-timestamp. You could vote for it.

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.
