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!

    Hi All--please keep upvoting and commenting on this thread and on other threads with similar requests. Maybe someday we'll see some action. What we need is the ability to set our own default opening section.

    This doesn't seem to be available in the latest software version. Please advise.

    I also have the same issue. Honestly, I don't see how this isn't a priority. It's a huge security concern if you leave your desk only to have Teams crash and re-open on its own, popping open a random conversation. Since I use the software to manage my team, I often have private conversations that I would like to keep private and not display them for the whole office while I'm in the restroom. What if I was sharing passwords or personal information to HR/team members? Anyone walking by would be able to see that sensitive information. It really reduces the functionality of the software when you can't use it for a secure conversation. Please fix.

    I am having the same issue. I am working on a MacBook and do not want my Microsoft Teams to open on the Chat tab. Please fix this, Microsoft. This would be an easy fix.
