Tag: Teams group chat

Microsoft Teams now boasts the ability to add customizable group chat pictures to what might be otherwise a set of chats with not-very-good generated pictures. The idea is to make it easier for people to find the right group chat in their chat list, Of course, it might be difficult to find just the right picture to use, but Microsoft has selected 36 illustrations and there’s over 1,800 emojis to choose from.

A new feature allows Teams users to start new group chats by adding participants from the membership of distribution lists, Microsoft 365 groups, or mail-enabled security groups. It’s a neat way to add up to 249 participants to a new group chat. And while we’re covering the topic of adding people to group chats, we also mention the oft-overlooked feature that allows Teams tags to be used for this purpose.
