Hide Chat icon from taskbar (GPO)

FI_Post_Win11

In this post I will show how you can hide the chat icon from the taskbar. This is a Group Policy setting that we can apply to hide the icon.

Create a GPO & apply it to the OU containing your computer objects.
Edit the GPO & navigate to the following location:

Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Chat

Policy: Configures the Chat icon on the taskbar
Action: Enable
State: Disabled

At this point, run a gpupdate /force on your workstation & reboot for the policy to apply.
