Add an option to remove/hide conversation tab

It would be great to have an option to remove or hide the conversations tab. Teams is a great way to post and link to team related spreadsheets or slideshows and doesn't require a chat function. Keeping one sometimes means there are chat posts that are missed because they are not expected.

The re-occuring chat window after you have left a meeting or joined a different meeting is disturbing work. Chat window should be disabled after leaving the meeting.

If we can't hide / remove, then can we change the default tab that is shown when a team is opened to a different one.
