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...
- Opened 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.
This update just started rolling this week through our tenant and its causing some issues with people trying to keep the user experience inside of MS teams. Now they can only link to files/folders in SP Online which doesn't land them in teams where they can see the chats and conversation threads for context for the files. Hopefully this is something they will be fixing soon. We had quite a few people using this feature.
