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).

This definitely does NOT make sense.
- I often need to reference messages for later action myself or to others who were part of the chat.
- Such referencing is not necessarily in the MS universe and I therefore need a link.
- If someone outside the chat does click the link, what's the problem? Teams will block their access anyway and so no harm done.
I do this constantly in Slack, but is a serious omission from Teams. No wonder for many of my colleagues, using Teams instead of Slack (we use both) for chat is a grudge choice.
Have you ever tried to find an important message somewhere in all the chats you have in Teams??!!!
You can save messages, but all you're doing then is reducing the problem slightly depending on how many messages you save - in my case it would need to be many.
