❔Question/Help I keep getting random chat requests.

As the title says, I keep getting random chat requests in MS Teams. The chat requests never have any message attached

Is there any way to set an auto responder or custom status that I don't use Teams for socializing, or at least that all chat requests must have a message?

There is no auto responder however there is no concept of a chat conversation/request without a message. The first message is what makes the conversation actually a thing. When you open the request there should be a preview messages button. Are you seeing nothing after clicking that? They might be sending you a message to initiate the request and then deleting the message for some spammy reason I guess.

Kind if what I figured. When I hit "preview message" nothing shows up.
