Hide the Chat (Teams) button from the taskbar

Quality of LifeSafe riskReversible

Sets TaskbarMn = 0 under Explorer\Advanced. Removes the Windows 11 Chat/Teams button from the taskbar. Reclaims the slot and stops the consumer Teams component from being nudged at you. Teams itself (if you actually use it) still launches normally. Takes effect on the next Explorer refresh. Reversible.

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
