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.

If you go to your three dots at the top right of the screen by your profile picture you can choose 'Settings'.
At the bottom left of that Settings screen is an 'About Teams' option.
At the bottom of that screen is a 'Public Preview' checkbox.
That, at least, is what worked for me. It definitely took some time after clicking for it to sync up but it did change.
