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!

I'm having the same issue - the menu/options in my Teams, General do not match what the Microsoft Moderator provided. Mine look like Theressa's and it isn't intuitive what to change to make it open in Teams, General, Files instead of the Chat option.
I'm having the same issue. I cannot locate any area which allows me to change this setting. Very disappointed in the "new" teams.
I think Alex's reply was for a Windows User.
Your screenshot matches mine and I use the Mac version of Teams. I am assuming you're a Mac user too?
It really annoys me that the MS Applications for both Mac and Windows are different.
Adobe manages to make both versions of its software identical without a hitch - why can't Microsoft?
The default answer is always for the Windows version and that's where we find out what's missing in the Mac 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

same issue can't have it start in calendar tab when using Mac - it defaults to chat which is about the worst default option I can think of.
I would love a fix to this problem. I want mine to open in chat, there is no way to change this setting. The old version did not do that. Very frustrating.
