Why is it that when I start up Teams it automatically opens up my Chats first?

I have my Microsoft Teams set to open up automatically when my computer starts, however, whenever it starts up the 'Chat' tab is always showing first. How can I make it so that the 'Teams' tab is what's shown when it first opens up. This is ever since switching to the new version.

Thanks!

    The apps don't stay in place even when just restarting the app (which also makes the ability to rearrange them pointless in the first place). Unfortunately does not help the situation in the post title.

    UPDATE: This works only on the current session. You can exit the program and it will stay as the calendar. However, once you reboot or shut down your computer, Teams once again only opens in Chat regardless of where the icon is stationed on your left tab. My calendar is at the top yet it opened in Chat once I rebooted my computer.

    Have you tried to drag the Calendar tab on the vertical tool bar on the left side of the Teams App to the top (as the topmost tool)?

    This is ridiculous that this has been going on for over 4 years and Microsoft has not fixed it. It's just another case of a programmer deciding that they know better than the people that use it every day. Come on Microsoft get this fixed!!!!

    No, as a PC user, I am experiencing the same problem you are. I think Alex's reply was based off of the path for the OLD Teams. The way to access the settings is even different than described.
