How to enable Teams sharing option "People currently in this chat" as default on client or tennant level

When a user uploads a file to a teams chat, it uploads it to their personal OneDrive and sets the file sharing.

This setting is actually controlled in Sharepoint admin, since OneDrive and Sharepoint are so closely related.

Because of this, you need to actually go into Sharepoint Admin > Sharing > File and folder links > 'Choose the type of link that's selected by default when users share files and folders in SharePoint and OneDrive.'

Hope that helps.

Did you just randomly write up on some ****?

1. Those sections doesn't even exist on the Microsoft 365 admin page
2. You can't set "people in this chat" as default setting, it's not supported.

I don't know why you would give a incorrect and dishonest answer, but you're not doing anything other than annoying people and wasting their time.

Get your **** togheter.

Hello Segunfunmi,

I was trying to find the settings to change it on the tenant-level, but wasn't able to locate it. Is it possible to provide screenshots to navigate?

Sincerely,

Calvin
