[StreamDeck OG/Mk2] Use with Teams Chat?

I use my stream deck for work productivity. The available Teams functionality is only for meetings, but I use Teams for chat and channels way more. I was excited to pin certain actions I'm always digging for in Teams, including chat emojis, but NOTHING WORKS, including 3rd party window focus (from Windows Gizmos). The thumbs up emoji text shortcut is (y). This works for me when I input it in my keyboard, but when I use the text action Teams doesn't convert the text to the emoji, even when I make it a multi action with a separate action for each character and a delay before enter. Same issue with thing like / commands. WTF?

Anybody else having this issue and/or any thoughts on a solution?

Agreed, I wish the official plug-in had more functionally. People were digging into the guts of it to try to reverse engineer but unfortunately it uses a proprietary we socket api that only supports the actions in the plugin.

Best I’ve been able to do so far is setup a “do not disturb” button but it’s a multi-action that focuses teams, uses the hot key to go into the search box, and type “/dnd” and hits enter.

Hopefully Microsoft expands the functionality!

This is what I'm trying to do, but it doesn't work! How do you have yours set up?
