Group Chats in Teams

Student, faculty, and staff can participate in group chats in Teams.

Please familiarize yourself with a one-on-one chat by reading this guide Send a Chat in Microsoft Teams.

Start a group chat

To create a group chat, follow the same process as starting a one-on-one chat. Simply add more than one recipient to your new chat.

Just as in a one-on-one chat, you can view the conversation or a list of all the files sent to the group by clicking on the Files tab.
By default, the group name will be the last names of the participants. Customize this name by clicking on the pencil icon.
To view the members or add more, click on the person icon in the top-right corner.
Tip: you can use emojis to acknowledge a message instead of sending a message, which would notify everyone in the group.
- To access the emojis, hover your cursor over a message.
