How to add or remove the people bar from the Windows 10 taskbar

With Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709), Microsoft introduced a new feature called My People

The feature, which was supposed to be included with the Creators Update for Windows 10, makes it easy for you to connect with your family and friends. With this feature, you can chat with your important contacts and share photos with them from the taskbar.
