Hello,
After a recent Zoom update, an annoying feature popped up.
When typing a message in a team chat, Zoom automatically converts "-" or "*" to a bulleted list (similar to one of the many useless Word auto-formatting functions).
How can this automatic bullet list generation be disabled?
Thanks,
Simone

Hi MGSR,
Thanks a lot for your quick feedback.
I am unable to find the "chat box" that is supposed to open up this configuration menu.
Is that located somewhere in the "Team Chat" view?
Could you be more specific?
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Simone

Hi @simlebor
It is in the team chat, the space where you type in your messages and having the issues of having it automatically changed to bullet list. You just need to right click on that space.
Should you need further assistance please let me know.

Hi @MGSR,
I am really sorry but I still can't see this same menu.
What am I doing wrong?
Am I missing something?
Thanks again,
Simone

Any further hint on where/how to enable the "Subsitutions" menu?

This issue is mostly annoying.
How is it possible of even thinking of not having such a feature configurable?
How come it is NOT possible to see / enable this "Substitutions" menu?
Thanks,
Simone
