Start conversation in a teams tab using Graph API

Question

Hello

Is there a way to start the conversation in a Teams tab using graph API? Basically, if we click on the 'Start conversation' button it will create conversation, but I want to do it programmatically.
Also, can we change the size of the chat section in a tab? (The horizontal width specifically)

I would need an API for starting the conversation inside the team's tab. Not to post a message in the team's channel.
Once I start a conversation in the tab programmatically, the message will automatically come into the channel as well.

I want to do the above action via some API call.

Thanks

There is a direct way to send Teams message through Graph API.
Login, Graph API graph-explorer with your login and select the Team's action needed as below:

Query used is something as below:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/your-teams-id/channels/your-channel-id/messages  

Request Body used is as below: You may use a custom message

{  
    "body": {  
        "content": "Hello world"  
    }  
}  

The final window looks like below:

After running the query, you will see the success message as well as a message in teams

I have no idea on changing the size of message window. However, hope the above Graph API method helps
