Use Markdown formatting in Microsoft Teams
With Markdown, you get a live preview of your formatted text inside your compose box as you type, and you can always undo your formatting by pressing Ctrl+Z.
Also, most of these actions are available if you expand your compose box (everything except block quotes and strikethrough will still have its own button).Available Markdown actions in Teams

For now, you can view but not generate Markdown-formatted messages on your mobile device, so if you want to collaborate on code, stick to the desktop or web app.
