When a document is shared in a "chat", can I view it WITHOUT being forced to download it?

I love being able to share photos and documents in the chat feature, but when its a document, it forces a download in order to view it, that just creates files I need to delete from my computer later, often times I just need to view what is shared with me, don't need or want to download it. When it is a photo, I can view without being forced to download. Is there a way to turn off the forced download?

Hi @OtherStreetCS

The only way to view an image without downloading a copy locally, would be for the host to share their screen with the image displayed. Images or files sent via in-meeting chat must be downloaded before they can be viewed.

Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.
