Hi all,
Done substantial digging around different support resources and can't find an answer on this
Both in the PVA test portal and in WebChat deployments my very basic PVA-QnA bot won't show that the bot is typing when the user is waiting for it to reply. There's a sizeable delay before it does return a message, but during that delay, no typing indicator appears.
I tried customizing webchat.js StyleOptions such as typingAnimationBackgroundImage and typingAnimationDuration to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi @aquader ,
Unfortunately, its not available yet.
I already created an idea here: Ideas (aka.ms)
you can vote here: Bot show typing message to user wait for the respo... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

@renatoromao Thanks for the quick response, appreciate it. Glad to know I wasn't missing something.
Another question - is there a way to adjust the response delay? It seems artificially long (3-4 seconds), which I am assuming is not just due to the low-tier Azure resources behind it.
@aquader no problem! 🙂
Normally the time of results and the delay is related to the Azure location/region. If your environment is in another country, you can get more delay to receive messages from the bot.
I recommend you to use your environment near to your organization.
It's 2023 and now we can add a Typing indicator as an activity in the bot.
But the typing activity will not show up on teams channel, which is a big issue when the requirement is to use teams channel.
