Hyperlink to start Teams chat with external user

Copper Contributor

 Hi guys,

I have found the following site: Add a “Chat with me in Teams” link to your email signature that outlines how to set up a hyperlink to start a chat with an individual, however it only seems to work for users in your tenant.

Is anyone else having the same prob or is there an alternative?

Cheers,

Geoff.

@makofish Hello, you should verify the underlying communication settings. See this info

If you have external chat setup and it’s not working. You can always utilize sip protocol to send chats. Pretty sure this works. Similar to mailto:user@domain.com you use sip:user@domain.com
