    I can't even start a new conversation (post) now, not in a browser not in the app. I can only reply to posts. MS please fix this

    I have uninstalled new version of Microsoft Teams and installed old Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.2757 but still showing "Start a Post" in Teams channel instead of "New Conversation. can please help me I want the other version that says create conversation not post

    I had this issue too at first, however I managed to get back the 'new conversation' again as default upon clearing the contents of %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams while the application was closed.

    This has worked for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I see it now even gives me the try new button now, but I will not be using that.

    Apologies - Ignore the SUBJECT field. It will post without one, and look like a conversation - but still be unwieldy like a post.

    Just ignore it.

    I wish I could. Microsoft should back out this change. I see nothing that was improved by it and only the negative impact. If there is an improvement that anyone has seen, please let me know.
