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 ...
- Jun 09, 2021It'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).

Please Microsoft, do something with this... We was forced to migrate from Slack to MS Teams and everyday I get frustrated when I need to share a link from a message in a "Private Chat" to my mates.
It's better to don't talk about the Linux "Preview" client app and other topics. From my point of view Slack is really better in all senses, but definetively this topic about sharing the link to private chat messages is the worst issue and the one that drives me to frustration.

They just have a very effective sales (/lobby?) departement.
Probably they even pay some IT managers here and there to be selected...- ALSORobJul 10, 2023Copper Contributor
Chris1325 MS Products at large organisations are typically chosen by upper management who rarely use them like you or I. MS heavily Markets a set of basic features to these people, one of which is price. Since Teams is completely free with a large 365 environment, it doesn't have to be a good product, it simply has to exist.
When management hear buzzwords like "collaboration tools" or "team chat" the first place they go is where they've always gone, Microsoft. Compared with Slack, Teams always wins not because it's a good product, but because for management, free means good, regardless of how much frustration, downtime and inefficiency it causes to end-users.- edcardenJul 10, 2023Copper Contributor
ALSORob and constant rebranding, name change after name change to where one wonders if there's something embedded in the Windows kernel that prevents it frobe rebranded as Microsofts marketing dept does routinely. Helps justify that depts budget if names are ever in flux
