Just getting back to work after vacation and noticed the Conversation button in the top right-hand corner is no longer visible when documents and spreadsheets, both existing and new, are opened in Teams. We use the Conversation button to notify and tag the appropriate channel members that the document has been updated and to share information. This button is no longer available/visible to me; however, it's visible to my associate. See the attached screenshots of a document that was created and opened in Teams.
• Screenshot #1 is from my Teams application (MacBook Pro) showing that the Conversation button is missing.
• Screenshot #2 is from my associate's Teams application (MacBook Pro) with the Conversation button circled in red.
Here are the Teams applications version numbers for myself and our associate. I'm confident that this issue is directly related to the latest version of Teams that was updated yesterday; however, Microsoft Chat Support says that's not the case.
Me: You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.17261. It was last updated on 6/29/22.
Associate: You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.15861. It was last updated on 6/14/22.
I've also confirmed that a user outside of my organization running Version 1.5.00.17867 is also experiencing this issue as of this week.
Any assistance would be very helpful.

After weeks of appreciating the return of the "Conversation" button, it's disappeared again.
So, either the bug is back or MS has finally removed the "Conversation" button.
Let's just hope it's a bug.
Microsoft, it is mission critical that you put the conversation button back. This feature is the main feature that has won our clients on this solution, if you remove it, we will make less sales and I'm sure Microsoft doesn't want to hurt their sales, it would be a shame!!!
I totally agree! Please do not ever remove this since having a conversation for a document might be the most important collaboration functionality within the plattform!
I've noticed that it is missing as soon as I change the client to preview mode.
Please MS, don't take this feature away. This is a crucial collaboration tool for any team sharing documents on Teams. Having conversations about a document encapsulated within that document is vital for auditing purposes, etc.
Don't celebrate yet. The update specifically indicated that the button is going to disappear. I hope they changed their mind but I haven't seen anything to indicate that is the case.
