Force New Teams to open in Chat view, not Teams

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)?

    YES!! So many privacy issues this could compromise besides being awkward!

    Same issue in reverse, up until last week it would open in chat (desired result), this week it started opening in the organisation's home page (intranet).
