Microsoft Teams, the new chat-based workspace in Office 365

It doesn't scroll new messages, but instead shows a button "New Messages" that you must click or mouse wheel scroll.

We tried using Teams last night for release coordination. This misfeature made it practically unusable. It's a seriously dumb feature. I'm still a bit baffled that someone actually designed and developed it, thinking it was a good idea.

Presumably this works exactly like Skype. All new messages are scrolled but if you manually scroll up to read old messages you'll get a button for "new message" that you must click on to resume. Which makes sense in that you don't want the screen to automatically advance if you are manually scrolling for old messages.

No, they broke this in one of the more recent updates. It never scrolls to the bottom once you get more than one window full of messages automatically anymore.

I have been using Teams for a few months now, never had this issue.

This might be elementary but does "Teams" show up in the App launcher? I enabled Teams from O365 settings this morning but I don't see anything pertaining to accessing the teams product.

I simply had to download the Mac / Windows (https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads) client and things worked. I never found a "web version" of Teams - but it probably exists somewhere. :)

The web version is located at https://teams.microsoft.com/, and you just login there.

Watching the demo animation on the site it seems to scroll for new messages. Is it only when the application doesn't have focus that it stops scrolling?
