    Annoying for you! 4BobRandall A couple of things i'd suggest...

     

    1) Get them to download the Teams desktop app if they are using the web app. There should be a download button bottom left of the app.

    2) Upgrade to the new Teams meeting features - select profile pic and choose settings and tick the box for 'turn on new meeting experience' it requires restarting Teams so right click the teams icon and 'quit' then reopen Teams.

we've the same problem ... Multiple users can not see the chat icon

But they should have the necessary rights to see the Chat button via Setup policy

 
 

App setup policies / global -> pinned Apps:

- Activity

- Chat

- Teams

- Calendar

- Calling

- Files

 

 

Does anybody has an idea?

We've had a chat go AWOL in a 3-man meeting today. Trying to open chat for a meeting in Teams (via calendar) says it does not exist (well duh...) and a file uploaded to share vanished. Can't find the chat in Teams app under chats, either.
