How do I turn off Teams typing indicator?

I do not like that when I type something in a chat and hit enter, my cursor goes back to the typing field. I usually am involved in a conversation, and I usually wait until they respond before I answer. I don't want them to think I am still typing because it's confusing for the other person, so I always have to click out of the typing field. This seems like an unnecessary step.

    Not me. I lost this feature recently and thought it was gone but then a coworker told me she can still see it. Now it looks like the name is just weirdly hanging there-I hope someone can help me, but not an AI!

    Just don't give you team mates/co-workers the mistaken expectation that you will instantly reply to them.

    When I'm in a chat, after I make a reply, I minimize Teams. Then go about my business. I do NOT have notifications turn on. When I next have a free moment I check Teams for any new replies or chats and take appropriate action/reply.

    My time is mine, not theirs. If they have a problem they are welcome to take it up with my boss. Luckily they are on the same page with me. I have better things to do than idly chat all day.

    As long as you set the correct expectations then there shouldn't be any disputes.

    Hello Beth,

    Good question and sorry if you are experiencing this issue. Let me help you!

    To turn off the Teams typing indicator, open the Teams app, go to your profile, and click the “Privacy” tab. Then, uncheck the box next to “Show when I’m typing” to turn off the typing indicator.

    Let me know if I can help you further!

    Best,

    Jayzar
