Hi Joao, when I click on button i get the following message, do you know what exactly need enabling?
This account does not support Share to Teams.
You will need to sign in using your work or school account instead (if you have that kind of account). If you are not sure, or if you need help, contact your Office 365 or Teams administrator.
