# MS Teams send message

How to locate a chat and send a composed message in Microsoft Teams via
Chrome DevTools MCP. Verified empirically against the live Teams web app.

## Locating a chat

1. `chrome-devtools_list_pages` to find the Teams tab.
2. `chrome-devtools_select_page` to focus it.
3. `chrome-devtools_take_snapshot` to read the left chat list (a11y tree).
4. Click the target `treeitem` (e.g. "Group chat [Idea Mining] PM"). The
   chat opens and the editor autofocuses.

## Sending

- Click the "Send (Ctrl+Enter)" button exposed in the snapshot, OR
- `chrome-devtools_press_key  key: "Ctrl+Enter"`.

Do not press `Enter` alone — in Teams it is remapped to send only when
the "send on Enter" setting is off; the default for group chats is
`Ctrl+Enter` to send and `Enter` for newline. `Shift+Enter` always
inserts a line break regardless of that setting.

After sending, confirm delivery by waiting for the message to appear in
the transcript (e.g. `chrome-devtools_wait_for  text: ["<your
substring>"]`). Teams also announces "Message sent." via an `atomic live`
region.

## Cleanup

If a test draft is unwanted, select all (`Control+A`) and `Delete` before
navigating away. The editor resets to the empty placeholder.
