Chat button missing in a Teams Meeting?
- Sep 10, 2020
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.
In my case, the meetings series had the channel set to a team's channel to what some attendees were not members.
The quick "solution" is to add those attendees to that team, but this probably defeats the purpose of having a team.
Our "solution," since we cannot remove the channel, was to stop the series earlier and create a new one without a channel.
I am sure it is something Microsoft could fix.
I am having a similar issue, however, not in an official business meeting setting. I am a secondary teacher and several of my students are using Android phones to tune into our online classes. The chat feather is a vital part of this online learning process as most students don't want to show their faces or speak out loud [insert eyeroll].
I've read over all these posts and don't see anything that helps in my situation. Would love if Microsoft could fix this glitch. My student has uninstalled and reinstalled the Teams app on the phone.
Thanks for any solutions available.
