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.

    Does anyone from Microsoft read these forums, this functionality is needed by anyone communicating with more than a handful of people. Its a shame, if slack has this by default, that large orgs dont make both available

    This requested functionality, to organize chats, to group them by custom label, is something that is present with almost all existing chat applications that other companies use, like slack for example, or google chat....even discord has this for like a decade.

    Please get this feature up soon, since 15 pinned chats is not working for any company that has above 4-5 people.

    Thanks,
    Nikola

    SPECIFICALLY THIS! My organization is forcing us over to Teams from Mattermost and man oh man...... we hate it. I had everyone organized by what team they were on within our organization so I could easily find and categorize everyone. This is impossible on Teams. PLEASE add this functionality already, it has to be one of the top requested additions easily. It's insane this has yet to be implemented.

    +1 on the request !

    Please do something about it : that seems so basic nowadays and yet not being able to group chats makes it way more ineffective. Pin/unpinned or read/unread is not sufficient anymore as people are using less and less emails for chats messages.

    There might be some good news on the horizon - have seen a couple of articles recently that look promising... https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-is-reportedly-working-to-merge-teams-text-chat-and-channels-with-a-new-ui/
