Your company is upgrading from Microsoft Skype for Business Online to Microsoft Teams. The company's Microsoft Teams upgrade policy is set to Islands…

In Islands mode, Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business operate as separate, parallel applications. A chat sent from Teams can only be received in Teams, and a chat from Skype for Business can only be received in Skype for Business. The "missed chat conversation" emails are sent by Teams when a user receives a chat but does not view it in the client. This indicates users are not actively running or monitoring the Teams client. The solution is to ensure the Teams client is installed and to instruct users to run and sign into both clients simultaneously to avoid missing communications from either platform.

B. User permissions within the Teams client do not control the fundamental delivery of messages or the need to have the client running to receive them in real-time.
C. An app setup policy controls which apps are pinned in the Teams client's navigation bar; it does not ensure the client is running or that users are signed in.
D. An app permission policy governs which apps a user is allowed to use within Teams; it is unrelated to receiving native chat messages.
E. The problem is missed Teams chats, which implies users are not running the Teams client. Installing the Skype for Business client is irrelevant and counterintuitive.
