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)?

    My settings have always matched what you have shown, so I changed it and checked the New Window box. Logged out and back in again, only to have the exact same experience of TEAMS opening in a VERY RANDOM Team. I actually experimented with both buttons, and same result when I open teams.

    FIX THIS! Look at OLD TEAMs and figure it out!

    The new teams needs to have a way to open to the chat function. I tried to go to the url of the community and post a reply, but it says I'm not signed in and gives me an error when trying to sign in. I'm signed in to create this reply!

    Hi Jay C,

    Good day.

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft community.

    I am writing to follow up on this thread. I am really appreciate your precious time.

    According to the description, I and our team members have checked few things from our end, but currently there is not particular settings options available for new Teams experience so that it can open on Teams but not on Chat view.

    ==============================================================================

    On the other side, in order to add or develop some specific features under the new Teams experience, the relevant Microsoft product team needs guidance from the users' side so that they can create a more convenient feature in the product for the users. To do this, would you mind sharing your valuable and unique ideas directly with our product design team via Microsoft feedback portal platform?

    Here's the most recent example to understand the role of the product team based on user feedback:

    Recently, our different product teams are still developing a lot of things in product services, such as the new Outlook, new Teams experience, and based on the different suggestions, our product developer team can conveniently design and develop new features and functions in the Different product experience so that all users can use the product in smooth way. But, to do this, we have to give very strong ideas to the product development team. Product teams are also comparing the proportion of user feedback and upvotes to make decisions to upgrade and develop products with more convenient feature options.

    I'm sharing the URL link for the feedback portal so that users can directly send their valuable feedback and expertise to our product development team: Microsoft Teams · Community This feedback portal is also regularly reviewed by the relevant developer team to get feedback from users for product development. I will also give my opinion to this relevant team.

    I will really appreciate your valuable cooperation.

    Sincerely

    Darpan
