During the Team Tuesdays meetings, I cannot see the Chat icon
During the Team Tuesdays meetings, I cannot see the Chat icon on the top right of the Teams screen (see photo). This means that I cannot see any Chats, nor can I see anything the Presenter posts to the Chat (e.g., a link to further details on the Topic she's discussing).
I'm using Office 365 Teams - paid version.

I am experiencing the same. There are times that teams is not working properly within the day where i am stuck (pls see attached file). I am unable to join meetings unless invited. I tried restarting my phone and also reinstalling teams however, i am getting stuck as well (pls see attached file for the signing in screenshot). What could possible be the reason behind this and what do i need to do?

We are experiencing the same issues. Regardless of meeting size, regardless of meeting participants (internal only, internal external), regardless of the outlook teams invite, teams calendar invite etc. ...no commonality can be found. The suggestion to leave and rejoin does NOT work consistently. Any advise would be of assistance.

This is an issue with us as well. Teams chat needs to be available for all 250 attendees and not just the first 100.

Teachers in my organisation have also found that many students cannot access/see chat in Teams Meetings even though they have all joined the meeting the same way. These sessions all have under 50 participants easily.
Any advice would be appreciated! -

Same in Vancouver. Intermittent and often cascading - happens to one and then others are affected. We have guests, external, internal, Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android - I can't find any consistency or reproducability in the problem. The chat just disappears or it stays active.

Have there been any solutions yet offered by Microsoft?

Yup, we are seeing this issue too. I'm not 100% sure it's related to the 100 user limit on group chat though as:
a) There are reports of this happening in meetings of less than 100.
b) I joined a meeting today quite late and there were already 220 on it but I could see the chat button and use the functionality. -

Group chat in teams only supports 100 user, even though a meeting supports 250 attendees. I have no idea why MS didn’t line those two limits up.

I can't access to the meetings by clicking on 'join' . There's no 'join' for me to click on . Could you please help me out with these ?

We just had our our first two large meetings and have this same type of issue. One thing consistent to us is that the meetings are being created by inviting a distribution list (from Exchange) and not by entering individual attendees.

We have the same symptom as many other affected users. In two larger meetings yesterday (~50 and 120 attendees) approximately 20% of attendees could not see the chat icon. Once those users were manually added to the chat membership they could then see the chat icon. We have invited users via Outlook desktop by our all company Distribution List which is nested and contains DL's for each office. Unfortunately, there is no obvious pattern to determine which users are left out of the chat as they span several of the nested DL's.

I had this same issue. To solve it, I left the meeting and rejoined. The chat appeared after rejoining the meeting.

I am in a meeting of 15 participants and I am only having the issue in this specific Team. I have larger teams but it isn't an issue in those meetings. Just strange!

Happen in two of my meetings, approximately 60 and 250 size. A solution from Microsoft would be great.
