New Meeting Experience - issue with chat and accessing Forms
I am using the new meeting experience in Teams - i.e., my Meetings automatically pop out into a new "window." When I turn on chat, I'm unable to click the "..." to access adding apps like "Forms." I even tried to type in "@forms" in the chat box in order to access Forms to add a poll. This didn't work.
However, I am able to go back into the main Teams window, go to the chat section, find the chat related to the meeting, and can access FORMS from here. Is there some setting I need to set to allow me to access Forms from the New Experience meeting window?

This question explains it. Microsoft are working on it and they recommend to do exactly what you are doing for the time being
Q. Why are message extensions grayed out? I like to send polls in meeting chat.
A. We’re working on it! For now, if you want to send a poll or use other message extensions in the meeting chat, go back to the main Teams window, select the meeting chat (either via the Calendar or the list in Chat), and do it there.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
eileenw I am still having this issue, is there a fix yet? Thanks
AGilbert25 I'm still having the issue, as "messaging extensions" is grayed out for me. Not sure if my system admin controls that or if it is a Microsoft thing. I did find that new functionality regarding Polls was recently added - Microsoft Forms Brings Polls to Microsoft Teams Meetings So, could be helpful if you are the Meeting owner.

Best, ChrisMine is also grayed out. I can't send praise even when I go to that actual app. How can I fix this?

ChrisHoardMVP I still experience the Message Extension still being greyed today.
Any idea or suggestion? Thanks
