How can Teams replace skype??
Madhu_Tallapaneni Chat isn't available on mine. The Group chat function isn't anything we would be interested in at all. The UX isn't very good, its super big and doesn't scale down to size like Skype. Besides Chat not being avaialble, the UX is the number one issue
BumSkull Even in Free version also chat option available.

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.
- Definitely call support, our main use is 1-1 chat. it works great, better than skype. Keep at it, you’ll figure it out.
- 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.
