How to remove hyperlink from plain text

ECollins

Is there a way to remove the addition of a hyperlink to numbers that are just plain text? Zoom interprets all series of numbers as a phone number, regardless of their length or formatting. For example, a FedEx tracking number is 12 digits but it will add a hyperlink to the first 9 characters but not the last 3, regardless of whether the numbers are stuck together or separated with spaces or dashes.

It might help if you gave specific locations of where this occurs.  I've never seen this as a function of Zoom, but I know my iPhone looks at any 10-11 digit number as a phone number.


Ray -- check out the GoodClix website or the Z-SPAN website.

How would I show that?


This is in the Team Chat section so I figured it was clear it happens in a chat. I also tried several times to either put examples inside this post or attach a screen capture of the effect and it was rejected by this forum because it was perceived as an account number, even when I used X’s in place of several numbers.

Thanks for the clarification, @ECollins.  So you’re talking about regular text in Team Chat. I’ll do some tests and get back to you.

I appreciate your help!
