Adding External but Federated users in a group chat
I would like to know how to Add external teams users (NOTE: not guests, and users i.e. more than one) to group chats Context We currently have a multi domain setup - domain A, domain B, etc. ...

Nope, not missing anything, you cannot do group chats via federation(external) chat yet.
However, a work around is to create a meeting with everyone, may have to have them join the meeting then click chat, but then you can have an external chat that will be available across everyone's clients. Not ideal, but it works for now until we can get External group chats in. Once you chat, you also don't have to stay connected to the A/V of the meeting and still use the chat going forward.
No word on ETA etc. that I can share unfortunately.

gtorres At that time it wasn't possible so it was a best response back then. But now you can have a group chat using external access (federation).
Adding a comparison table for some context Compare external and guest access

Can I just double check that the group chat will allow different federated external users from different federated external domains into the group chat? And not just multiple external federated users from the same external federated domain?
