Open an Existing Group Chat via URL or Deep Link
The URL is https://teams.microsoft.com/I/chat/xx:xxxxx@thread.v2/ but replace the xx:xxxxx with the code from a "Copy Link" URL which looks like com/I/message/xx:xxxxx@threads.v2/
Note xx:xxxxx is 2 characters, a colon, then about 30 characters, but I only put it as a smaller number of x's in the example.
How do you get "Copy Link"? You may need to be on the web URL teams.microsoft.com or on the desktop app. While there, hover the mouse cursor over a message in the chat room, click the 3 dots, and choose "Copy Link".
So, the chat has to exist, and there has to be at least one message. And I assume if you don't have permission to that chat room it won't work, but you should test that.
This also works with meetings, but the xx:xxxxx has the word "meeting" in it, but you can still copy and paste it.
Many thanks for sharing this. This doesn't seem to work for a channel meeting though.
I get following error:
We can't take you to that message because it's in a char you're not in.
Note: if you want a link to open directly in the client your can replace the protocol https: by msteams:
