I can pile on to this. I had to rename my employer's Microsoft Teams app because it doesn't autocomplete the app's name after an apostrophe is typed in the Microsoft Teams app (both native and web).

For example, typing "@O'Shaughnessy Demo App" into Teams to fire off a command to our bot would automatically stop populating the autocompletes after the apostrophe is typed. So users would be forced to scroll through the entire list of usernames that begin with O to get to our app name to type a command into our bot.

Our workaround was to rename the application to "Demo App by O'Shaughnessy". Microsoft is aware of the bug after we posted in their dev forums, but has not fixed it yet.

You'd think that typing the full "@O'Shaughnessy Demo App do thing" into the app without relying on autocomplete would work, but it does not.

I don't expect anything to work in Teams
It makes me miss Skype for Business. Teams is down there with Sharepoint in terms of craptaculence.
I still miss MSN. It just worked for non-work stuff. I met my wife during the peak MSN years.
Ah, little Bobby Tables must be this guys son.
