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.

    Perhaps I've been spoilt by using Zoom previously.

    There I could create group channels AND have groups for individual chats, contacts.

    I had channels for group discussions for different topics and projects

    I also had groups for contacts so I could see the online status of team quickly and I could snooze the groups holding all my 'social' conversations and work event updates.

    Why is MS Teams so clunky in this regard?

    This feature to give more option of grouping chats then Pin vs Unpin and enable to create own groups and allows to pin chats under self defined groups will be massive steps to increase productivity during works with MS Teams.

    Looking forward to see this feature on roadmap :)

    the problem with pinning chats, is that Teams sets a very unusable limit of 15 pinned chats..

    What we would be far more helpful is being able to create a master chat group, and pull individual chat over the same topics into that group... then maybe the ability to pin those 'Groups' would be more useful... because you can always just put more chats into the grouping that way... Teams is very unusable in a busy organization with multiple projects

    I'd like to second this request. I cannot find the functionality to label chats with different colors, nor do I understand what is meant by external folders. Exporting and savings in folders doesn't seem efficient, as any new comments and edits would not update.

    Great point! This is kind of what I was trying to show with multiple topics. In this case Group topic contains two different topics or chats. Maybe I did not express this clearly. But I agree. I would like to have a group for Meetings that contains all the meetings I am involved with or need to reference frequently.

    Group topic

    Topic 1B

    Topic 2A and 3A
