"Your message is too long. Please shorten it before sending"
Who are you to decide how long my messages should be? If I want to post a long stack trace, I should be able to do it.

Since Frontpage times, Microsoft struggles to produce sane HTML code with any of their products. Whether you save a word page as HTML, or apparently format some text in Teams, there is a massive SPAN bloat.
No wonder that simple messages can become too large and hit a limit in Teams.

Here is how MS thinks? - sure add a button to outlook that says "send to Teams",.
Does it work, yes it pops out a windows showing some of the message but not all. what?
This is not a productivity suite any more when buttons ask me to adapt my message, no count, nothing.
Bad implementation and should be removed until such time it actually works.I have grown very very tired of basics in teams being a vote thing. I spend considerable amount of time on transitioning to Teams because of orders and it constantly disappoints.
I would stop using it but it is corp standard. When windows 11 comes out it will be windows standard..will it be any better? Not unless the mindset changes.
We are paying for being beta testers to MS? But for how long?

Teams can take a huge picture, can't take my page of code? You guys aren't twitter.

Can you at least specify the limit in the message?
Neil Raphael Veigas commented · August 5, 2020 5:17 PM · The maximum message size is a healthy 25 KB.
Is it true?
When I saved my message as docs attachment, it was shown as 21K. -

For F*CK sake, copy slack fully.. If the message is too long, automatically convert it to a snippet and send it over! Don't tell me there is no need to send long messages; we send code, stack trace, data, SQL queries, etc., that are longer than your limit! It is just dumb. Just fix it!

I'm not sure I agree with an unlimited length, but the app shouldn't hang forever. Maybe a button on the warning message to delete the entire message. Ctrl + A > Delete does NOT work (or is taking many minutes? and I'm not patient enough). Have to sign out and sign back in or delete line by line.

Had the whole application hang because I pasted the wrong table.. took me ten minutes and much swearing to find this thread to find how to sort it out.
It sits there telling me my message is too long, but hangs so that i cant even delete it. Talk about failure to lift off. This is the software my client has me using, am suggesting that they really want to consider alternatives. -

This is also an issue when you have MS Bot Framework chatbot enabled through MS Teams. We are using Adaptive Cards to enrich the user experience and as soon as the card is even slightly complex, we are seeing following error messages when trying to send it to end users:
413 - RequestEntityTooLarge - Message size too large.More details about this can be found in following Github issue:
https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Services/issues/228The 28KB per message is way too small. Please increase this limit.

My solution to when the app would hang was to right-click on the teams icon in the task bar and choose to sign out and sign back in. The too long message was then deleted.

My workaround was sending the text as an email to the channel email address.

We are seeing this too and the data we are trying to send is not that large. Is there an ETA on a fix?

My bigger problem is that the text editor causes the entire application to hang when you accidentally paste in a long message. Any deleting it isn't easy, because the app becomes unresponsive if you touch the text.
To work around this I've found the following method: close and restart Teams, open the rich text editor on the offending draft text, click trash can icon to deletes the entire draft at once.

You know how to scare devs away from the MS dev env? Have them use stuff like Teams. Talk about bad advertising.

We try to use Teams for a daily update across a broad technology group. The updates on different issues and efforts can get pretty lengthy. Teams is supposed to be an industry-wide standard, but how can it be used when messages are so limited. Now I have to break up into multiple posts. I am very disappointed in this limitation and hope it is fixed soon..

Epic failure on usability! UNBELIVEABLE that we have such an issue in 2020.
SHAME ON MICROSOFT and SHAME ON THE ENGINEERS WHO IMPLEMENTED THIS.
