The context provided does not specify whether the Team-level share link feature has been disabled or removed in the Microsoft Teams EDU configuration. It also does not mention if it can be restored or re-enabled. For detailed information regarding sharing features and configurations in Microsoft Teams for Education, it may be best to consult the official Microsoft documentation or support resources directly.

Dear @Tj Moran,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Are you referring to the feature I have circled in red below?

User's image

Could you provide a screenshot of what it looks like on your end?

For example, if you create a new team using the available templates, do you encounter the same issue?

Are other people in your tenant experiencing this issue as well?

Looking forward to your response!

Symptoms:

No Team-level share option appears anywhere in the UI.

Teams desktop app always redirects to the General channel when using any generated link.

Browser sometimes opens the full Class Team interface, but desktop app does not.

This affects the ability to give students a link that opens the Class Home (Home page, Assignments, Grades, Class Notebook, etc.).

Dear @Tj Moran,

May I ask you a few questions? I’m asking because I don’t fully understand what you mean yet.

When you copy the link right next to the team's name, does it also redirect to the General channel, and your students don’t see tabs like Home, Class Notebook, Assignments, etc.? Is that correct?

And if your students join the class manually instead of using a link - for example, opening Teams > Class > selecting the class - do they see those tabs then?
