Organize chats

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.

    I agree with the previous posters - just having pinned/unpinned as two categories for chats is insufficient. Pretty much every other chat software has some version of grouping, it is surprising Teams would lack this extremely basic functionality. Very frustrating to find out it doesn't exist - it makes my interactions with Teams materially less useful and more tedious.

    Absolutely this - PLUS having them separated out so you have to switch views to see them that adds the most inertia to using them.

    If personal chats and channels were all in one view then I think it more likely that people would use channels for group chat.

    Is there a way to bump this? I feel this is a very important feature that's missing!

    Just here to bump this and second the suggestions (this should be bumped every day!)
    Teams Channels are more for company wide general discussion.

    My day to day focuses use on Chats, of which I have hundreds.

    The filter settings are insufficient, as are the pinned chats max cap (pinned feature can stay however, but should be unlimited, why the limit?)

    IK would like to see, grouping chats as a parent with children conversations and colour coding (coloured background for text, black text on faded colour). These can then be collapsed as necessary, with a notification on the parent.

    Example:

    Social: -Team Meal

       **-International Team Visit         -etc...  Project 1:**

   **-Daily Sync         -Director Sync**Cheers,

    Adam
