GT365-Team deep links no longer work in v2 client

GT365-Team deep links no longer work in v2 client

Microsoft is rolling out the new Teams v2 client. This is now a Single Page Application (SPA), which means generated deep links no longer work. Unfortunately, this also affects the GT365 solution 09 and 11, e.g. to open the settings of a team and the management of members with a button. Here you can find out why this is the case and what workarounds are possible. This means that a direct link like https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/#/teamDashboard/[team-name]/[team-.id]/td.members now always leads to https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/ and the user ends up in the chat area. This is undesirable, but unfortunately cannot be changed because Microsoft no longer supports direct links in the Teams v2 client due to the new SPA architecture. For Governance Toolkit 365 customers, see also the news entry in the GT365 admin portal. ...
