Sharepoint Site Links not working in Teams
I've created a Sharepoint Site for a project that we need to share internally - we need it accessible via Teams.
We have added it as a tab in Teams, but it's not working properly. The majority of people are unable to click the links and are stuck on the homepage unless they open the site in their browser. This is not ideal as we want to keep our users in Teams.
We have used both Sharepoint and Website linking features within teams and both run into the same issue.
Does anyone have any insight into this issue and how to resolve it?
I think I got a solution guys: After a brief discussion with out IT-Support service contractor he advised us to embed the site as as "SharePoint"-Website, not a "Website"-Website. Seems like its all working so far. The attached image is in german, but the menu should look similar
JonasM123Thanks for the update, it's worked for me also. I added the new tab in Teams as a 'SharePoint Pages' tab and then selected 'add page from any SharePoint site' and inserted the site URL (like you would also do for the 'Website' tab).
- Did not work for me.
- JonasM123 I'm not trying to add it as a page on a team. I am trying to add it in the apps pinned to the left. But it only gives me the option to add "SharePoint" to a team. Weird that it's working fine for some employees not others.
- JonasM123 i have the same issue, and on my side it's already added as sharepoint, i deleted and readded it but still not working

Hello, same issue here, but affecting only the links to url's that contain blanks (%20).
The issue started on different Teams of our tenant on February 14th 2023 and still ongoing.Kr,

- Hello Emily
Looks like this issue?
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/hyperlinks-in-teams-website-stopped-working/m-p/3254029AndresGorzelany Thanks, it does look like the same sort of issue. There doesn't seem to be a resolution in that thread though 😞
- Unfortunately not, but I'll try to dig into this
Thanks for opening this question. This way, I know there are multiple people facing the same issue. Hopefully, Microsoft will fix it soon. I have the same problem and can't get the links to work. It lessens the usefulness of teams for our company.
The problem is appearing in the teams web version, teams desktop version, and across all link types I set up on the Sharpoint website. It only works when accessing Sharepoint via the browserI seem to be having the same issue. It was working fine last week and I went to open the Sharepoint site from teams this morning and the page is blank. Everyone is having the same issue. Interesting to note that the site is accessible through a browser though.
- I'm getting the same issue. In the space of the same day I've been able to, and unable to, add a Sharepoint site as a tab to a Team.
HiEmilyRM,
we're facing the same issue right now in our tenant. Doesn't matter whether we embed the site with the "website-app" or the "sharepoint-app". The links sometimes work once or twice but after that they stop working. I can confirm that "right-clicking and open in new tab" works fine.
But that isn't a suitable solution for most employees.
Any updates on that? Thanks in Advance...- The only resolve I have found is that you have to be using the New MS Teams version, not the classic.
kkostrzewa Yes this could be the case as I have been using the new Teams and the links appear to work fine. Thanks.
