How to Add Multiple Users in a Chat Group in Microsoft Teams

A chat group in the context of Microsoft Teams is a group composed of multiple people added to Microsoft Teams and often acts as if it is outside of a formal setting. The chat group is often composed of 3–10 people and can be used to collaborate on projects.

• Step 1 – Open Microsoft Teams on the Desktop

  

  The function to add multiple users to a chat group in Microsoft Teams is available in both the free and the paid versions of Microsoft Teams. Begin by opening or launching Microsoft Teams on the user’s desktop or preferred web browser.

• Step 2 – Select the Chat Tab of Microsoft Teams

  

  After the user has opened Microsoft Teams and signed in to the appropriate account, they must select the Chat tab on the ribbon located on the left side of the screen. This will allow the user to access the different chat functions available in Microsoft Teams.

• Step 3 – Create a New Chat Group

  

  In the Chat tab, the user can create a chat group by pressing the “New chat” button on the Chat header. Alternatively, the user can access this function by pressing CTRL + N on their keyboard.

• Step 4 – Add or Invite Users to the Chat Group

  

  The user can now add multiple people to the chat group by placing their names, emails, or Microsoft Office accounts in the “To:” field in the chat group. The user can also opt to name the chat group by pressing the “Add group name” button and typing a group name into the appropriate field. After the user has added a couple of users to the group, they will need to type out a message to finalize the creation of the group.
