Hi @Handian Sudianto

When you paste a URL into Microsoft Teams, it often converts the link into a hyperlink that displays the page title instead of the raw URL. This is designed to make the message more readable and informative by showing the name of the page you're linking to.

This is by design in Teams. If you want to avoid this behavior, you can select the "Show Formatting Options" option on the right side of the input box when adding a link, select "Insert Link", and enter your link in both the upper and lower boxes.

Hi @Handian Sudianto

Yes, this requires you to repeat this operation every time you insert a link.

There needs to be a setting to turn this behaviour off in my opinion.

@Andy Hudson - thanks for that. It is very annoying having to go edit the formatting every time. We should have the capability to set the Default Behavior in our MS Teams etc. clients (and same for all of Office 365).
