Enable Teams Chat on Windows 11

In Windows 11 the Teams chat features has been separated from the main Teams window. Some may find it confusing or assume the feature is no longer available. Here's how to activate and use it:

From the desktop, look for the following icon on the taskbar at the bottom middle of the screen.

If you don't see this icon, right click on an empty space in the taskbar and select settings. Then, toggle the Chat feature to On and close the settings window.
