/chat command missing?
isn't `/chat` a valid command? Source: https://blog.goptg.com/save-time-in-microsoft-teams-with-slash-commands
I don't have it.
It's still around. I think there is a bug when you tenant switch that causes it to go away. If you quit Teams and restart it. The command including @mention to start a chat will start working again.
- But it's possible that newer releases removed the command. I don't see why they would but, all my tenants still have it, but I have to restart Teams since I tenant switch and it causes it to be removed.
- Tested Chris Webb's suggestion that it's a bug caused by switching tenants. The /chat command reappeared once logging out and back into the tenant.
I see he's raised it with Microsoft. My man ChrisWebbTech wins the BR. He also wins a BR for Twin Peaks.
Best, Chris

Thanks ChrisWebbTech! 🤝
Confirmed, the workaround of exiting teams and restarting it "fixed it".
For reference, here's the list of commands I do see:
- Should work if your account is enabled for chat. Can you start private chat from other places in Teams? Can you use /chat from another client or from the Teams web client?
- spottedmahnIron ContributorYes, I can use the chat feature.
