Is there a way to create custom Chat sections other than Pinned and Recent?
Under Chat you can pin a particular chat and it will show under a "Pinned" section that can be collapsed / expanded, besides the "Recent" section that is always there. As you start pinning more conve...
To be clear, I think this is tied to the Public Preview option. I enabled it, a few minutes later I got the popup and could make groups of chats. I tried disabling the option and restarted Teams, the groups went away. Re-enabled, groups are back.
The option is in the About Teams section (bottom left of Settings screen) at the bottom.
I too would greatly appreciate this feature.
My days it would make work life so much better for all the reasons already mentioned - Numerous regular meeting threads, Numerous Teams / Departments you're part of, Favourite colleagues etc etc.
Please Listen Microsoft 🙏🙏🙏
This will be highly needed feature where grouping of chats based on the topics. This will really improve the productivity and efficiency of the tool.
Though not your ask, recent Teams killed one of my most cherished features - Contacts. Working with 70+ groups over time, created numbers of contact subfolders to put people's contact placeholders. When I couldn't remember who but could remember what, opened the "what" folder, found name, continued on.
Teams eliminated even that function in recent months. So now I cannot make meaningful functional contact lists, I can only pin 15 at a time under chat.
Back to your ask - I wonder if MS will ever make user-selectable number of pinned chats? IMO, they don't really understand the law of unintended consequences on this one.
