Creating a group in Microsoft Teams chat is a simple process that allows you to easily communicate with multiple people. Here's how you can do it:
1. Navigate to the "Chat" Tab
- Open Microsoft Teams and click on the "Chat" tab located on the left sidebar.
2. Click the "New Chat" Button
- Look for the "New Chat" button, which is usually represented by a chat bubble icon.
3. Start Typing Names or Emails
- In the search bar that appears, start typing the names or email addresses of the people you want to add to the group. As you type, suggestions will appear.
4. Select the Desired Members
- Click on the names of the people you want to include in your group.
5. Add a Group Name (Optional)
- While not mandatory, you can add a descriptive name to your group by clicking the "Add a group name" option. This can help you easily identify the group later.
6. Start Chatting!
- Once you've added all the members, you can start chatting with your newly created group.
Examples:
- Group Chat for a Project: You can create a group chat for a specific project to share updates, files, and collaborate with team members.
- Group Chat for a Department: You can create a group chat for your department to share announcements, discuss ideas, and stay connected.
Important Note: You can also create a group chat from within an existing channel by clicking the "New Conversation" button within the channel.
