microsoft teams - Using MS Graph Explorer to Send a Adaptive Card to a Channel - Can I Remove the Padding at the Top?

Question

I'm using the MS Graph API Explorer to send messages to Channels in Teams, but whenever I send a message with an Adaptive Card attached, it adds padding to the top of the card and a 3-dot menu on the right with a "Copy" option.

The examples in Microsoft's documentation do not seem to have this problem.

Is there a way to remove this padding and menu? or can I alter the content shown in this space?

I'm using the following endpoint... https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/messages

With the following request body...

{
  "body": {
    "contentType": "html",
    "content": "<attachment id="4465B062-EE1C-4E0F-B944-3B7AF61EAF40"></attachment>"
  },
  "attachments": [
    {

      "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
      "content": "{
        "type": "AdaptiveCard",

            "text": "My News Item",
            "wrap": true
          }
        ],
        "actions": [
          {
            "type": "Action.OpenUrl",
            "title": "View",
            "url": "https://bing.com"
          }
        ]
      }"
    }
  ]
}

Answer 1

For now, this is not possible.

According to Microsoft, this is by-design....

I have added a uservoice suggestion for Microsoft, to expand the schema to include options to do this. If you end up having the same issue as me, at least you can add weight to this feature request...
