I am using Teams Desktop Application from last 10 Months, There is so many features better than Skype! I feel its better than Skype.
- There is chat option
- We can create teams group for collaboration with the members.
We can integrate APP's into Teams.
We can change the Teams application Theme
So many options available with screen-share
Cheers!

Madhu_Tallapaneni Its pretty clear that chat isn't available on mine. I have uninstalled re-downloaded everything. Nothing wont show up. This is a core function that this app must have and its just not there. Ill keep an eye on the uservoice once i see a new usable UX has been delivered we will try the app again.
EDIT: I have logged out and back in 50 times, rebooted several closed and opened the app 50 times it seems too. Nothing. Even tried the web client not there either.
