Summary

Many hosts and authors want to be able to use SVG images inside their cards. On most of our renderers, it isn’t supported. Note that TS/HTML already supports it.

Asks

• Cortana
• Sets
• Action Center (Microsoft Teams and many more)
• xinguohenan

Proposal

In the Image element, simply allow SVG image sources. Update the renderers to display those properly.

Property	Type	Description
url	string	The URL to the image. Can be SVG format.

{
  "type": "Image",
  "src": "https://contoso.com/sample-svg-image"
}

Open questions

Can UWP properly display the SVG without being told it’s a SVG? Or do we need the author to provide additional info?

It’s been three long years - this feels like Waiting for Godot. What is the ETA?
