How to Send a file, picture, or link in Microsoft Teams

ByCorporate Guider Home, Teams

Desktop

There are many different kinds of files, pictures, and links that can be sent when you’re in a chat session.

Send a link

In order to send a link, the easiest way is to select the Format button beneath the message box, then select Insert link from the drop down menu.

Select Insert from the menu, or you can copy and paste the link into the message box, then select Send. Once you have added any display text and the address, select Insert.

You can remove the preview image and thumbnail that appears when you send the message containing your link once you have sent it, and you can close it if you wish.

Note: The ATP Safe Links security feature was created by Teams in order to ensure that any link sent or received by the team is safe for the recipient to choose. You will also be notified if any links you click on are potentially unsafe as an added layer of protection.
