Is it possible to create a team from a group chat?
I gave a Teams training in a Teams meeting with various assistants and i would like to become that resulting chat group a team itself so we can collaborate with files, use applications, and use it as a Q&A team for that people. Is it possible to accomplish that idea?

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. All users have teams enabled The users in these domains are already setup to talk to each other, without switching teams tenant i.e. as external users, not guest users When creating a group chat in domain A, I can add multiple users from domain A. However, I am only able to add one external user from another domain(any domain other than A. Question Is it currently possible to add multiple external users given the recent updates to the federation capabilities? Am I (and more likely my sysadmin) missing anything in the admin console that would enable this functionality?

Teams Meet Now Feature Gets a Makeover for Group Chats
Teams group chats are getting a new Meet Now experience. Is that good news? Well, it’s not an earthshattering change, but it is a nice change because it simplifies the way the Meet Now feature works. It’s the kind of change that software vendors make to tidy up the loose ends in a product. https://office365itpros.com/2024/04/25/meet-now-teams/

Teams Adds Support for Customizable Group Chat Pictures
Microsoft Teams now boasts the ability to add customizable group chat pictures to what might be otherwise a set of chats with not-very-good generated pictures. The idea is to make it easier for people to find the right group chat in their chat list, Of course, it might be difficult to find just the right picture to use, but Microsoft has selected 36 illustrations and there’s over 1,800 emojis to choose from. https://office365itpros.com/2024/04/12/group-chat-picture-teams/

Disable Group Chats
Hi, Is it possible to prevent users to start group chats, i.e. it should be possible to chat one-to-one but not invite several users in a group chatt? All group conversations shall be carried out in specific team channels, but not in the chat.

Add Participants to Teams Group Chats with @Mentions
A new feature allows people to add participants to Teams group chats through @mentions in the compose box. It’s a nice feature that should have been there a long time ago. Microsoft says that adding new group chat participants this way saves a whole two clicks over the old way. Will those two clicks make any difference to you? https://office365itpros.com/2022/12/09/group-chat-participant-compose/

When adding a third person a chat. Can the third person see previous messages?
Hi, User A and User B were having a conversation on "Skype for Business". Throughout the day, both Users were sending messages and having a conversation. While the window remained open, User A added User C to the conversation, thus creating a "group chat". Can User C view the messages that User A and B were sending earlier in the day? Can the newly added User view the conversation history between A and B? Thanks!
