Hello,

I have a problem: we use Teams within my organization, and I am an administrator. I would like my users to be able to create a non-expiring invitation link that allows external users to open a Teams chat window with them.

There are two ways to do this, but neither works.

Creating the link manually: By using the following link and modifying the user’s email address, it opens Teams, but nothing happens: 
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=email address removed for privacy reasons

I have checked the various admin interfaces:

https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/homepagehttps://entra.microsoft.com/#homehttps://admin.teams.microsoft.com/

I found nothing. An external user with Teams can open a chat with users from my organization when they search via email in Teams. However, I would like to automate this, especially for external users who do not yet have Teams.

I feel that these problems appeared with the New Teams version. Any clues?

Best regards,
Alexis

This interface does not appear in either the application or the web interface with the New Teams version. I tested with an external account using the classic web version of Teams, and this button is visible. I have read that others have the same problem with the New Teams version, but they are able to see it on the mobile app version. I have checked the various admin interfaces:https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/homepagehttps://entra.microsoft.com/#homehttps://admin.teams.microsoft.com/ I found nothing.
