Open an Existing Group Chat via URL or Deep Link
I am attempting to open an existing Group Chat via a URL or Deep Link. I've read info about creating a chat via a URL but not navigating to an existing Chat. We plan to reuse an existing group chat...
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.
