How do I remove the chat button from the desktop?

[KerbGarden]

I am a new user to Windows 11 and I have no need for the "chat" button on my desktop. It's a little icon at the bottom of my screen.

Can anyone please tell me how to remove it? I tried right clicking it to view properties but I can't see how to do this.

Thank you for any assistance.

Go to settings -> personalization -> taskbar -> taskbar items.

Removing the chat and task view buttons is one of the first things I do on my config. Shame it can't be performed via a right click action.
