How to find the url for a Teams Chat with the new version 2?

Question

With the new version of Microsoft Teams where may I find the url for a specific chat.

Answer 1

I figured out how to do this by trial and error. When you copy the link from a specific message, you need to clip the reference to that specific message out of the link. For instance, in my case the link for the message looks like this:

https://teams.microsoft.us/l/message/xx:xxxx:xxxxxx@thread.v2/nnnn?context=%7B%22contextType%22%3A%22chat%22%7D

Where the xx's are as MC said above, and the nnnn's are the numbers that reference the specific message. You want to delete the "/" after the ".v2" and all the numbers up to, but not including, the question mark. So in this case the new link would be:

https://teams.microsoft.us/l/message/xx:xxxx:xxxxxx@thread.v2?context=%7B%22contextType%22%3A%22chat%22%7D

This will take you directly to the chat, and display the most recent message, whereas the first link would be a static link to the specific message, which may be old or even deleted depending on your organization's policy.

Hi @Wright, Jacquelyn

You can navigate to a chat with a user using the following URL:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=<specifc user's email address>

Answer 3

In the new version of Microsoft Teams, you can find the URL for a specific chat by following these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Teams: Launch the Microsoft Teams application and navigate to the chat you want to get the URL for.
2. Select the Chat: Click on the specific chat (either individual or group chat) from the chat list.
3. Copy the Link:
   • Right-Click on the Chat: Right-click on the chat in the chat list, and look for an option like "Get link to chat" or "Copy link".
     • Use the Options Menu: Click on the ellipsis (three dots) in the chat header or next to the chat name, and select "Get link to chat" or a similar option.
     1. Copy the URL: A dialog box or a notification will appear with the URL. Copy the URL from there.

If these specific options are not available, it may vary slightly depending on your organizations Teams settings and the version you are using. In such cases, consulting the official Microsoft Teams documentation or your IT support team might provide the exact steps for your configuration.

The URL is https://teams.microsoft.com/I/chat/xx:xxxxx@thread.v2/ but replace the xx:xxxxx with the code from a "Copy Link" URL which looks like com/I/message/xx:xxxxx@threads.v2/

Note xx:xxxxx is 2 characters, a colon, then about 30 characters, but I only put it as a smaller number of x's in the example.

How do you get "Copy Link"? You may need to be on the web URL teams.microsoft.com or on the desktop app. While there, hover the mouse cursor over a message in the chat room, click the 3 dots, and choose "Copy Link".

So, the chat has to exist, and there has to be at least one message. And I assume if you don't have permission to that chat room it won't work, but you should test that.

This also works with meetings, but the xx:xxxxx has the word "meeting" in it, but you can still copy and paste it.
