This article explains how to change the download location in the Microsoft Teams chat list.
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform developed by Microsoft that integrates chat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration.
The free version is installed on Windows with its icon on the Taskbar.
There are many settings one can enable in the Microsoft Teams app. You can sync contacts with Teams, connect to Google Calendar, link your mobile device, turn message preview on or off, manage teams notifications during calls, set default speakers, set default microphone, enable high fidelity sound, change mic sensitivity, set default camera, hide message preview in chat list, and more.
