Adaptive card with the ability to appear for some users and not others in Teams

Hi @manda, 

I hope you are doing well. 

Based on Microsoft’s current documentation, a bot in a shared Teams meeting chat can use user specific views so that certain users see a different refreshed version of an Adaptive Card. However, the card itself is still posted in the shared conversation, which means the base card remains visible to everyone in that meeting chat. At this time, there does not appear to be a supported way to make an Adaptive Card appear only for selected users while being completely hidden from other participants in the same shared meeting chat. 

For more information, please refer to Microsoft’s documentation on User Specific Views in Adaptive Cards.

If your goal is for only specific users to receive and view the card, the better approach would be to send the Adaptive Card to those users through a personal chat instead of posting it in the meeting group chat. This would allow the card to be delivered only to the intended recipients. 

If you would like this behavior to be supported in shared meeting chats in the future, I also recommend submitting feedback directly to Microsoft via the Feedback Portal to help prioritize this feature in future updates. 

Sharing your experience through this channel is the most impactful way to advocate for a change that would benefit you and other users.     

Just a quick note as well: this is a user‑to‑user support forum. Moderators here, including myself, are regular users too and don’t have the ability to change or influence Microsoft product features or design decisions. What we can do is share findings, observed behaviors, and practical tips based on experience and available information.  

Once you’ve submitted your feedback, feel free to share the link here. I’d be happy to upvote it to help increase its visibility.  Moreover, if you are unable to submit feedback, please inform me at your convenience. In that case, I will gladly assist by submitting it on your behalf to ensure your request is properly captured.             

I hope you found the answer helpful, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could mark it as accepted. This helps highlight the solution for others who may be searching for similar information in the community. Your contribution not only supports fellow users in finding the right guidance more quickly, but also helps build a more resourceful and collaborative space for everyone.    

Thank you again for your time and for raising this important usability concern. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.         

Wishing you a smooth rest of your day.
