Chat button missing in a Teams Meeting?
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.
HannahH2020 Was there a specific reference article that mentioned the 100 person limit?
Hi, I believe this has since been upgraded and now the limit is 300 attendees in a Teams meeting and they will all have access to chat.
You can find the limits here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams (check out the section on 'Meetings and calls')
Thank you HannahH2020 - I currently have a user whose Chat button randomly disappears in meetings, and all of them are much smaller than 100 people. Of course the person it is happening to it my CIO, so I have that going for me ...
- My meeting experience is similar. All meetings with 20 or fewer people. Some people seem to randomly get excluded from chat during the meeting. I clued into not assigning a channel for the meeting as that impacted. But, still experiencing it with meetings with no channel selected and doesn't seem to matter whether free or paid teams environment.

Almost 2 years later, and it's still an issue. My meeting has 12 people in it, and most of us can't chat.
