Email Signature with Chat with me on TEAMS doesn't go directly to me

Hi All, a coworker and I are driving ourselves crazy with this.  We have added the hyperlink in our email signature https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=%3cl<myemail.com>%3e and it opens up a TEAMS link but not our personal ones. Therefore the person would still have to type in our names. We have searched high and low and cannot find out what the issue is. I thought maybe we had to add ourselves as a Contact in TEAMS but you cannot do that.   So my question is...why would this hyperlink bring someone to TEAMS but not to my TEAMS chat with my name already started?  Thx!

        I did some testing and it works in the Teams app both for internal and external email adresses.
        But it don't work in the teams webapp, I haven't tested mobile yet. But I'll do some extended testing later.
