Please add an option to disable auto-capitalization in Zoom Chat on Linux

The auto-correction in Zoom Chat is frustrating. There is currently no way to turn it off on Linux/Fedora.

For example, when I type:

ich habe am 01.01. eine Nachricht erhalten

Zoom automatically changes it to:

Ich habe am 01.01. Eine Nachricht erhalten

It capitalizes both the first character of the message and the word after 01.01., apparently treating the date as the end of a sentence.

I have disabled IBus/Typing Booster auto-capitalization, and the behavior still occurs only in the Zoom desktop client. This appears to be Zoom’s own chat editor.

Please add a setting to disable all automatic capitalization and text corrections. Users should be able to send exactly the text they type.

Hi @Roland Detterbeck, would you mind checking the settings screen and toggle below? Try disabling it to see if it helps as a temporary workaround.

Thank you, that helped.

It would be great if all settings could be collected in one place instead of hiding them behind several separate gear icons throughout the application.

Totally agree. We have related plans and will optimize toward this direction in the near future. Thanks for your feedback.
