How do I access my pictures on Teams Free?

I a using Teams Free and I am needing to get pictures from some time ago. I was using Skype and there was a "gallery" to view all pictures, but now it appears that Teams Free does not have this option. I have searched and some results refer to a "photo tab" but I do not see one on my Teams Free.

Any advice is appreciated.

    In Microsoft Teams Free, there isn't a dedicated "gallery" feature like the one you might have used in Skype. Instead, you can access pictures shared in your chats or channels by scrolling through the chat history. If someone shared images in a conversation, they should be visible in the chat thread.

    Currently, Teams Free does not support a specific "photo tab" to view all pictures in one place. You may need to manually search through your conversations to find the images you are looking for. If you have saved any images to your device, you can also upload them again to the chat if needed.

    Hello.

    In each chat you can tap on the photo tab to find files shared in the chat.

    Unfortunately, the "Photos" tab might be useless in older chats created when in Skype and then transferred to Teams.

    If you need access to all photos available in your Teams Free account then the alternative method is to export you entire chat and files history from the Cloud servers.
