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!

    Did we get an answer to this? I see the same thing, no Application box. I want the calendar to be first not chat and can't change it in New Teams so I will have to revert back to the older version.

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I gave that a go but I can't seem to find the 'Application' section that you mention. Please see image. This is all that shows under 'General'.

    Thanks

    Therresa

    Hi, Therresa

    Good day!

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    Accroding to your description, to change the default tab that opens when you start Teams, please follow these steps:

    1. Open Microsoft Teams.
    2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
    3. Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
    4. Click on "General" in the left-hand menu.
    5. Under the "Application" section, you will see an option for "Open application in." Select "Teams" from the drop-down menu.
    6. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

    This should change the default tab that opens when you start Teams to the "Teams" tab.

    If the issue persists, please give an attempt for clearing the cache for your Teams - Clear Teams cache - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.

    Thanks for your attempts and looking forward to your new updates.

    Hope you all the best!

    Sincerely,

    Alex | Microsoft Community Moderator.
