5 years ago @AndrewPla This looks good to me! It's a shame Teams doesn't support this in normal channels.
I can't merge this while it's in draft mode. Can you change the status please?
From the looks of this user voice item, support in channels may be a ways off. https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18675718-display-user-is-typing-indication-also-in-teams

Description
I added the typing indicator per the documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-activities?view=azure-bot-service-4.0#typing
It is worth noting that I haven't been able to get it to work in a channel, just a DM. I didn't see anything in the documentation indicating that it's only supported in DM conversations, but I am unable to see typing indicators from other Users typing in channels. Feedback is appreciated on this part. The code will attempt to send the typing indicator whether or not the message was received from a DM.
Feedback is appreciated

Motivation and Context
This will allow you to receive a typing indicator in Teams. This is great for longer running commands because it let's the user know the message was received and the bot is working.
How Has This Been Tested?
I have been using this for a week or so in our environment. It sends a typing indicator to DM conversations but I'm not seeing a response when the bot replies to a channel.
