Custom link to a teams chat with a person (Call to action or button)
Hi everyone,
I want to have a button on SharePoint or a call to action which directs someone to a team chat with me.
So when they click the link/button, it automatically opens up a Microsoft teams chat with Me.
Is this possible to do?
Thank you,
Henry
Hello Dynamicshs
you can use https://teams.microsoft.com/l/call/0/0?users=email address removed for privacy reasons for an call-link or https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=email address removed for privacy reasons to chat with a person.
Best, Dave
if you replace the @ with %40 which is the ascii code for @ it will work. You can also create a group text by linking email addresses together with %2C which is ascii for a comma.
woohoo, inserting the company email address after the EQUALS sign, did the trick. Thanks Buckets!
- Thank you, is it possible to do the same with a video chat? I tried "videocall" instead of "call", but it didn't work
I tried to do a quick lookup and came up with nothing. A chat is passive, a call has to be answered. I think the only way to do that would be to add video to the chat or set up a meeting.
