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.

    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.

    Agreed for the bump.

    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.

    The "Teams" tab is very useful but, in my organization, it's used for messaging teams. I just want to organize chats.

    Bumping this... the ability to "group" chats in the Chat window rather than just pin up to 15 chats would improve my Teams experience tenfold.
