We're thrilled to announce 10 NEW Adaptive Card features now available in Microsoft Teams! These exciting updates empower you to create interactive, dynamic, and visually captivating Adaptive Cards. Supercharge your app development with these powerful new features today!

These features are applicable in a wide variety of organizational scenarios - from creating intelligent forms in cards that avoid data entry errors through dependent inputs and conditionally-enabled buttons to visualize business trends through charts.

1. Dependent inputs: Create intuitive cards with options available in one input being dynamically determined by the selection made in a previous input.

2. Support for Fluent icons: Add icons from the Fluent icon library in your cards.

3. Rounded corners and borders: Craft versatile cards with borders and rounded corners to containers.
   

4. Star ratings: Add read-only or clickable star ratings to cards.
   

5. Charts: Visualize data in cards.
   

6. Container layouts: Design containers that work on any device with responsive layout.
   

7. Scrollable containers: Shorten lengthy cards by adding a scroll bar to containers.
   

8. Conditionally-enabled action buttons: Ensure that forms are submitted only after a user fills the required inputs.
   

9. Compound button: Recreate the look and feel of prompt starters in cards.
   

10. Inline YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion video playback: Add YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion videos in cards.

Great news @surbhigupta12! Looking forward to test especially the direct video integration in our app.

Meanwhile I wonder if next to new features somebody does also care about broken existing features aka bugs? There are over 700 issues in the AdaptiveCards-Repository. One we currently struggle with is the issue that the given colors are not compatible with european law:
microsoft/AdaptiveCards#8917

Would be great to have a bunch of bug-fixes in the next release! Even though I really enjoy seeing new features.

Thanks for your support @sschoeb! Glad you're excited about the video integration.
We understand the importance of bug fixes alongside new features. We’ll share your feedback with the team and check on the issue you mentioned.

Appreciate your patience!

Thanks for checking @surbhigupta12: Here btw another good example of a bug of the adaptive card implementation that is very annoying but nobody seems to care about:

Hi @surbhigupta12,

Amazing work, all these cards look pretty cool! Are they already available for Teams? Because I just tried to send through my Bot a Compound Button adaptive card, and I have not been able, I keep getting an error. I also tried on Bot Framework Emulator and I'm not getting an error there but the CompoundButton component is not displayed properly, I just see an empty button.

Thanks in advance :)

Yes, all the cards are available for Microsoft Teams.

Compound Button adaptive card, and I have not been able, I keep getting an error.

Could you please try the card payload provided in the docs? Could you please share the card payload and the error you are getting?

Hi @Wajeed-msft,

Thanks for your rapid response, I have already managed to fix it, turns out it was a connection error rather than from the adaptive card, many thanks!
