Link to private/shared channels in Microsoft Teams


Microsoft Teams allows to create HTTP-hyperlinks to standard channels.

How to get link to normal channel

This option is not available for private/shared channels. Is it possible to get a link to those channels?


Solution

    1. Open private/shared channel in MS Teams.
    2. Open Files-tab.
    3. Click Open in SharePoint.
    4. Copy link address of Parent Team in the side bar on the left.
    5. In the link replace PRIVATECHANNEL with TEAMSWEBAPP.

    The link only works for colleagues that have access to the channel, so those links do not compromise security.

    Since this is undocumented behaviour relying on internals of Office365, this might stop working with the next Teams/Sharepoint/Office-version.
