Webex Teams Auto-Correct Settings

Summary

This is about disabling the annoying auto-correct features in Webex Teams (on a Mac).

Searched for this answer but it does not appear to be in any obvious place in the docs.

The settings are also not accessible in the main "preferences" dialog for the Webex Teams application.

TL/DR

Right (or control) click in the text area where you type a message, select the "substitutions" pop-up menu item and toggle things on/off.
