MS Teams copy link for files doesn't provide Teams link, only give SharePoint link
- Dec 09, 2021
I got confirmation from Microsoft that they are going ahead with this changeover and above link is the roadmap they provided.
I know I feel the same as you guys but hey It's Microsoft !
Today I noticed something at a customer of mine, and I verified at other customers... It seems that now (since when???) the link (which a SP link for sure) opens again in Teams when clicked in Teams. So it seems that Teams "intercepts" the rendering - and shows a SP link (to a document) again in Teams. If you click this link outside of Teams (e.g. in a mail) then you do go to SP, not Teams... So it seems to be a solution - the link is "universal" (= SP link) but the rendering when clicked in Teams is done in Teams.
Do any of you confirm this observation?
Koen Daems - that works for some of my colleagues. When I open the link, which is sent to me in the Teams chat, it opens in the desktop app. I think depends on the default options chosen - I have as default to open docs in the desktop app. I can force it to open it in Team by clicking on options and then open in Teams.
