Browser Meeting - Missing Chat
They're all connecting from personal email accounts. Most are accessing from Gmail accounts.
Some see the chat option and two users didn't. Both are from GMAIL accounts but other users were connecting from GMAIL too.
There is a uservoice open for it here

Do the people who can chat with you have a free instance of Teams, or are guests or your tenant whereas the people who can't chat are completely anonymous users who were just invited to the meeting?
Best, Chris
- I setup a scheduled meeting.
Invited the people via their email address (not their tenant email address).
All used Edge to connect (not desktop app). 4 could see the chat icon and send a message. Two couldn't. The chat icon was just not there.
I'll check my tenant and see if they were added as guests and the other users weren'tDaithiG
Thank you for your explanation.
it is 2022 and this Problem is still there, that the browser application is not able ( sometimes) to show the chatbox to the user.
User : is a person who was invited (e.g. for an interview) to an meeting inside our tenant.
Screenshare and camera are working, but not chatbox visible for the user!
ChrisHoardMVP Just fix that problem please , every other application can do such stuff ( slack, discord, steam, etc..)this is really exists , interviewer company has a team account and assume Guest don't have company account please allow chat by default , crazy you are not allowing guests to see chat messages
