Render adaptive card full width in Teams

I'm experiencing the width issue with adaptive card rendering in teams — even when using:

YAML

msteams: { "width": "full" }

With msteams: { "width": "full" } The rendering is slightly better compared to the previous version. However, it still doesn't appear to occupy the full available width.

Could you please confirm:

  • Is this the maximum width that Teams allows for Adaptive Cards?
  • If not, what would be the recommended approach to achieve true full-width rendering?

Looking forward to your clarification.User's image

    Hi @Pandaraboina, Rajesh 

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    I tested Adaptive Card rendering in both a Teams channel and a group chat. 

    When using: 

    "msteams": { 
        "width": "full" 
      }, 
    

    -In a channel, the card renders at the maximum width that Teams allows within the channel post. This confirms the feature is working as designed.

    -In a group chat, the card expands only to the maximum width permitted inside the chat bubble, not the full window width. This matches previous observations.

    This confirms that Teams enforces the layout limits consistently across chat surfaces.
    For this issue, I also recommend raising it as a GitHub issue in either the Microsoft Teams or Adaptive Cards repository. As forum moderators, we don’t have access to backend systems or engineering telemetry, so we’re unable to determine whether this behavior is intentional or a regression. By reporting it on GitHub, the product group and engineering team can investigate directly, clarify the expected behavior, and provide updates if any changes are planned. This is similar to how issues such as https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/issues/7638were escalated to engineering for further review.
    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
