1 TopicAdaptive Cards in Teams channel messages: fixed narrow width — request for width control
Hi Teams Platform team, We post structured status reports as Adaptive Cards into a Teams channel. The card consistently renders at a fixed width of 448 px on a 1080p display at 100% scaling with a maximized Teams desktop client — well below the available channel message stream width. Wide multi-column tables get truncated or wrapped, which significantly hurts readability. What we've tried No card-level `width` property exists in the Adaptive Cards schema. `msteams.width: "Full"` is documented to apply only to Stageview / task module / tab — silently ignored in channel messages (tested). Same payload via three delivery paths — Incoming Webhook, Logic App "Post adaptive card in chat or channel", and Microsoft Graph `POST /teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages` — all render at the same narrow fixed width. The constraint is in the Teams channel-message renderer, not in any delivery layer. Minimal repro payload (7-column results table; all field names and values replaced with generic placeholders): { "type": "message", "attachments": [ { "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": { "$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "type": "AdaptiveCard", "version": "1.5", "msteams": { "width": "Full" }, "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Pipeline Report — run-001", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Medium" }, { "type": "Table", "gridStyle": "accent", "firstRowAsHeaders": true, "columns": [ { "width": 2 }, { "width": 1 }, { "width": 2 }, { "width": 1 }, { "width": 2 }, { "width": 1 }, { "width": 1 } ], "rows": [ { "type": "TableRow", "cells": [ { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-1", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-2", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-3", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Δ Col-3", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-4", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Δ Col-4", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Status", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] } ] }, { "type": "TableRow", "cells": [ { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "item-a", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "mode-x", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "0.000/0.000","size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "+0.00%", "size": "Small", "color": "Good" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "0.000/0.000","size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "-0.00%", "size": "Small", "color": "Attention" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "✅ Pass", "size": "Small" }] } ] } ] } ] } } ] } `msteams.width: "Full"` is present but has no visible effect in the channel message context. Feature request Either of: Honor `msteams.width: "Full"` in channel-message context (not just Stageview/task module/tab), OR Add a card-level property (e.g. `msteams.channelWidth: "Full" | "Default"`) explicitly scoped to channel messages. Is this a known limitation with an existing tracking item, or should we also file it on the M365 Feedback Portal for upvotes? Thanks!15Views0likes2Comments
