Organize chats

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,

Specifically:

• Need to create groupings of chats
• It is too limiting to only have Pinned vs. Unpinned

Same here - competition allows custom groups - personally I use: projects, incidents, tech, customers, admin, fun etc. to group chats together and be able to hide/open lists as I go.

Having just two options of pinned/recent is not very flexible.

But how to ORGANIZE the chat strams?

The problem with channels is that they're too heavy.

Chats:

• Begin typing
• hit send

Channel

• Click on start post
• enter title
• type in content
• hit send

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.

This reply nailed it. This is exactly why no one in my org in the company uses the "Teams" section and just uses the chats. If I have to come up with a title every time I want to say something in the team channel, I'll just send an email. At least those I can organize into folders to quickly find them later.

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.
