Please keep top-left grid icon to switch between emails and apps in the upper top left.
This is generating confusion and frustration in team who is trying to use and learn about this tool.

This was very frustrating. If they can't add the link to access other O365 apps, at least open Teams in a new tab so I don't have to log back in to open the app I already had open.

UI should have ability to get to app launcher and back to other apps!

How is this not a bigger issue? Am I missing a different post in which this is addressed? I get to Teams through the O365 apps box because O365 mail is the entry point used by my organization's SAML authentication process. However, once I'm in Teams, I can't get back to mail or any of my other apps. Even funnier, if go back and click my organization's "mail" icon, it just opens another tab of Teams! How was the access panel left out??

I agree - easy navigation to email and calendar etc is necessary

Upvoted. Teams online app needs to be consistent with the others, and it confuses users when they can't find their app launcher and nav bar in Teams.
If you are trying to save real estate on any screen, maybe make the nav bar hideable?

UI needs to be consistent, it's for every other apps.

This would be the square box in the top left corner of Office 365. This would allow users to bounce in between different applications more easily .

In the Teams web application I cannot switch to other applications like email. When in email I can click the apps menu to get to teams but not vice versa.

Please add the global app tab that appears in the outlook 365 web app. so you can bounce between Teams and other Microsoft office 365 applications.

Bring back the Waffle, when in Teams you can not flip back and forth through other Microsoft apps.

Hello, is it possible to add app launcher in teams.microsoft.com?

Yes this has been a complaint from our users already. They go from mail to Teams and then can't get back. It wouldn't be too bad if the Office 365 launcher opened Teams in a different tab.

The upper left apps access panel in the browser is constant in every O365 app except for teams where it disappears. That kind of behavior is exactly why I never use Teams (and the desktop app is equally weak)

I wish I could pin Team on my 365 Nav bar, that way then we could easily grab the Teams page, check our messages, chats, etc. Also that when I click on that pin, it would open on another page. Would also be great that there is a notification *
That way I don't have to keep on going to the side bar, clicking, etc.

This really is a pain. Why is the Office 365 App Starter not in top left hand corner.
