Custom link to a teams chat with a person (Call to action or button)
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.
- Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to have the second link open up a chat with a specific person rather than just a blank chat and having to search for them?
Thanks,
HenryHello Dynamicshs
yes, use the correct email address after "users=" instead of "email address removed for privacy reasons ", that will open a chat with the person you have mentioned in the "users=" parameter.
Best, Dave
DaveMehr365 that still doesn't work, but you would think it would! We still have to manually enter their name unfortunately.
