Copy Link is not an option
I wish to share a link to a specific message in Teams chat ... however only options are Save this message Mark as unread Share to Outlook Translate the ability to copy a link to a chat ...
- It's available for Teams channel messages, but not for chat messages. And it kind of makes sense, as the latter are private by design and the link can only be used by direct participants in the chat (1:1 or group).
Thanks to the comments below I also realized I was unable to "Copy Link" from a private channel.
This in fact strikes me as even a worse potential violation of privacy, facilitating the copy of private conversations into e-mail for distributions. Copying a link is the most private mechanism, if a user is not in the channel they will be unable to read.
This is one of several significant functional gaps I have encountered transitioning from Slack to Teams, I hope Microsoft will continue to improve Chat functionality. Another huge gap is allowing threaded Chats, not just conversations in Team channels.
