Teams get link function only shows sharepoint link
Hi, Team owner A suddenly can't create Teams Link to a pdf, only Sharepoint Link. Owner B can, so can members. Why does this happen? IT administration did not change any sharing options Tro...
- Dec 07, 2021Opened a ticket today and this is what I've got as an answer:
A new Graphical User Interface is being implemented in stages. In a Teams Channel, the ability to choose between a Microsoft Teams and a SharePoint link for a file/folder has been deprecated. Selecting "copy link" for a file/folder in the Channel files tab will only result in a SharePoint link. All users will have access to this capability, and users will not receive a Teams link for a file/folder. This one has been deprecated and will be replaced soon for all users. This is the most recent one, which all users will eventually get owing to the new GUI functionality. As a result, those affected have the new GUI, while those who have the old one will shortly have it altered.
Had a call afterwards and they encouraged me to provide feedback here https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
I can't see a post about it, but will make one in the coming hours if nobody has beaten me to it.

Hello,
It looks like the same that is happening here
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/ms-teams-copy-link-for-files-doesn-t-provide-teams-link-only/m-p/3014935
I could only reproduce that when the user is a guest, but not with a tenant user

Hi Andres, well thank you for your input - I also found about 5 to 6 Threads in my google search that have the same problem - however none of the threads had a solution, we openend a ticket this morning at MS.
- Dec 02, 2021I am starting to reproduce this in some of the tenants I have access
I can't still find the pattern, but I'll keep testing- Dec 02, 2021
So far I could verify that if you get this tip while hovering the mouse pointer on "Copy link", you will receive the SharePoint share file dialog only,
- MnemikkDec 03, 2021Brass Contributorwell that is an even more weird behaviour - can't even think of a reason why this would behave like that - appearently I am not alone with the problem - MS Support promised an Answer within 2h40min - till today no answer. (we are EA Customers)
