Immersive Reader cannot read URLs with more than 45 characters
Hello
There is a bug with the Immersive Reader. When there is an URL longer than 45 characters, is not read out loud, and skips it.
Is this a known issue?
Regards,

We are using it using the API, but I was also able to replicate this in Teams. We are not getting any errors, but here is an example when I used it in Teams:
👁 User's imageEven if you put some text after the second URL , Immersive Reader is able to read it. The problem is that it is not reading URLs with more than 46 characters.
Let me know if you need further information.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I do not have access to the debugging code but you can replicate this in ANY immersive reader plugin, what you need to do is copy-paste the following text:
The short link 45 characters: https://www.example.com/a6b8c0d2e4/6f8g0h2i45 The long link 46 characters: https://www.example.com/a6b8c0d2e4/6f8g0h2/4i6
Additional text after the long URL
Then use immersive reader in Word or Teams. You can see that the second URL is never highlighted (or read out loud), it jumps directly to the next line of text, in my example it jumps to "Additional text.....". Here are some examples:
In Word
In Teams
Best regards,
Ivan
