How to get rid of "Discover"?

This new button is not helpful most of our users.  I'm getting complaints but I see no way to get rid of this button and it takes up VALUABLE screen for a useless (to us) button.

Any help or advice here?

      Same answer to every new useless "feature" MS adds.
      Sad...

    Completely agree. Adding features nobody asked for, without any option to disable them.
    - Notification pop-ups that cannot be turned off
    - Regional settings tied up to decimal separators, time formats and display language without any way to set these individually
    - New features which add clutter and noise without any option to turn them off

    Microsoft used to be about customizing your experience. Apple used to be the "one size fits all" company. But now I feel Microsoft is moving in the "one size fits all" direction, but without anything near the usability and user experience quality from Apple.

    ginger9077 agreed! This tab takes up valuable real estate where before i could see ALL of the chats I needed to navigate (WITHOUT SCROLLING), now I have to scroll constantly to make sure i havent missed a service request in our chats.

    It's possible to disable it now! Go to settings -> General -> Show Discover in your channel list
