I'd like to group chats together, not people.
I know this has been asked before, but the solution provided is not working anymore.
I get both personal chat messages and group chats chat messages from several hundred people and would like to categorize them to find, e.g. all messages from a certain group. I found that I can make Contact Groups, which means I can group several contacts into one group, but I cannot add "group chats" to such a contact group. How do I do this? thanks.
Conversations involving multiple participants, allowing collaboration and information sharing in Teams

+1 to this.
Specifically:
Our organization just started using Teams, and this would be incredibly helpful to be able to create our own groups instead of just using "Pinned" or "Recent". For example, I want to create groups of people, such as "Networking Team" and "Security Team". But I also want to group chats that are dedicated to projects, so I need a group called "Current Projects" that all of those chats can go into. Please assist!
The problem with channels is that they're too heavy.
Chats:
Channel
Would prefer that a channel behaves like a chat, in that a thread doesn't need to be titled, and a thread is just a reply on a message.
Need max reduction in clicking and mouse movement.
You said "directly grouping chats within Microsoft Teams isn't currently supported" and "Another strategy is creating custom folders or labels outside Teams to organise chats." and what I understand is you're proposing to not use Teams.
What I want is for this situation to change and be able to organize chats inside Teams. Is there a solution for me?
I get both personal chat messages and group chat messages from several people and would like to categorize them. It's easy to do this for contacts, I want the same for chats.
