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

Hello @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.

@David Mehr that still doesn't work, but you would think it would! We still have to manually enter their name unfortunately.

Hi both,
I do have the same issue. I think it is related to the "@" in the email address. If I create in SharePoint a call for action as a buttom with a url link, it is transforming the "@" out of the email within the URL to the MS Teams Chat into "%40" after saving what I edited. @David Mehr Could that cause the issue? From my logical point of view, the user cannot be identified in MS Teams due to that. Than MS Teams will only create a "New conversation/chat"(due to not found) and you have to type the name or search for the name again.

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.
