Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When linking to large files in MS Teams chats, such as scripts or markdown, the preview card is also huge. It displays ALL the lines of that file in the chat message.

Describe the solution you'd like MS Teams default view for inserted code blocks in chat is collapsed and the details can be expanded on request by clicking Expand or Collapse again to minimize. This would be adequate for ensuring large files do not spam chat. Alternatively, it would be nice for the previews of linked files to be disabled, as sharing links to specific files on specific branches is very useful to the teams I work with.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only real alternative for me is to not share links to GitHub files while using the GitHub + Teams integration apps, but this is impractical.

This is such a frustrating realisation that has made me uninstall the app from every chat service we wanted to use it in.

In a linear chat history we must be able to control the verbosity of the cards that this app generates. It's untenable to have such huge messages creating a constant stream of visual noise.

Please prioritise this.
