Force New Teams to open in Chat view, not Teams

Anonymous

Old Teams would open up on the Chat view panel whenever I started it.

New Teams always opens in the Teams view panel when i start it.

I can find no setting to pick which view panel should open when the program is started.

To be clear, I do have the program set to keep running, and when i open it from the dock, it will open in whatever the last view i had open was. The problem is on fresh starts of the program, I can't force it to always start in the Chat view.

Is there a registry change or something that can be made to force the program to always open in the Chat view (or to set any view as default for that matter)?

    Funny thing is: I have the same problem, but the other way around. New Teams opens in Chat for me, while I would like it to open in the Teams view.

    I have the same problem as "Christiaan Lustig." The Classic version would open to the Team channel and New Teams opens to the Chat channel which I hate because we don't use Teams primarily for chat.

    I also have this issue. I don't use Chat much and have Teams phones, so I would like to open in Calls. But I have no option that I can find to designate what I want in front when I open Teams.

    I have the opposite problem. Mine now opens to my chat tab and not teams. It takes a while to open so i walk away, and when i come back my chat is open for anyone to read on all the TV's in the room. This could get really awkward if someone reads a chat not meant for them. I have to remember to turn the TV's off first. :(
