I contacted Microsoft for help as I am trying to getting a button to essentially allow user to click the button for them to be presented with outlook. I have tried everything to add mailto: or even MailTo: or Mailto:. Very frustrating because there is no other solution. I don't want to add it as text to the site. Could anyone advise any other option for this button to work to email the certain assigned email.

@Imanh08 you can do this with an image web part. Add your image and in the Link field type mailto:address. It will add an https:// before it as you type:
Once you've entered the whole address just delete that https:// and click the Republish button. When you click the image Outlook will open.

It should come off as unfriendly as I'm not being unfriendly 🙂
Are you using any beta version of chrome? As the latest one is 108.0.5359.124 and seems to be a bug in that one.

Might be a bug on the 108.0.5359.124 which has been fixed on 108.0.5359.125

@NicolasKheirallah I was actually using Edge but I am in contact with Microsoft themselves to see what is happening.

What Edge version ? 🙂
You can clearly see it's an browser issue, if you press ctrl + the link, it will just open a tab to mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons instead of prompting you to open your email or opening a new email
