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.

Your policies aren’t setup right if chat is missing or if you just made your change over to islands it takes time to take effect it’s not instant. Make sure you check your user account upgrade mode not just the org setting. Also check messaging policies that chat is enabled and that you are part of that policy. If any changes are made you have to give it a bit.

    ChrisWebbTech Double tipple and quadruple checked the polices.  How long does it take to actually take effect?  I changed it over 12 hours ago.

      Changing modes can take days. If it wasn’t on islands and you changed it. It’s going to be a bit.

        ChrisWebbTech Dam that sucks.  It doesn't tell you that anywhere and I wasted hours upon hours today on this.  Pretty poor documentation and feature if you ask me.  

         

        Why would this take days but everything else in 365 takes just a few min??

         

        Totally turned off by Teams at this point.
