No SVG tile preview in Teams folder?
Hey Teams, it is very annoying that I need to guess by name what SVG I need to download from the folder in Teams.
In Google services it works perfect, but my workplaces forces to work with Teams. Why is there no preview, I tried to change the view to grid, but it just seems Teams is stuck in the 90's
Is there an add-on that can change this?
- According to this doc it should! Haven’t tested it though

Can someone else test it on their machine? Does it work via web?

adam deltinger hey, thanks for your reply!
As I understand, the preview should show at least in the web view?
Tried it on SharePoint & Teams in the browser, but no preview for SVG files.I do not see anything regarding the preview inside the Teams app
But anyway, now the designer has to upload a PNG version, so that everyone can see what the SVG is (without downloading the SVG - that has no preview).
Also, very annoying, in Teams, after opening an image, you have only an option to close it, and at that moment, the view, jumps back to "list" view - and there are no "small" previews in the list view.
Is there a default setting for this?
Thank god, we are able to use SharePoint. Still not good, but DEFINITELY better than Teams.
