Notification when someone/ other people else is/are typing in the chat.
Just a "Bob and Steve are typing" at the bottom of the chat to let the other people know that the person is actually responging.

Hmm...that could get pretty "busy" in a chat room with a lot of people. We do provide that message for Direct Messages, but had not considered it in Forums/Teams because of the potential distraction. Would you expect it to just show something like "Joseph and 10 other people are typing..." if there are a bunch of people actively typing chat messages?
I don't think it would require a notification of more than about 2 people. After that it could just say "multiple people are typing", or something to that effect.
If I start answering someone's question in a large group, but then see someone else starting to type while I'm typing and I know that that person knows a lot more about the topic than I do it means I will stop typing. This helps reduce the number of people responding with the same answer to one question which results in a different kind of "busy" distraction.
