Microsoft Teams - How to manage group chats

Leave a group chat

If you decide to leave a group chat in Teams, do the following:

  1. Select Chat to open the chat list.
  2. Find the name of the group you want to leave.
  3. Select More options > Leave.

If you change your mind, just ask someone to re-invite you to the group.

 

Remove people from a group chat

To remove people from a group chat in Teams, do the following:

  1. Open any group chat of three or more people and click View and add participants.
  2. Hover on the person's name that you want to remove.
  3. Select Remove and confirm you want to remove the participant from chat.

An update in the chat will inform everyone that you've removed the person. People removed from a chat will be able to view previous chat history, but won't be able to send new messages, react to messages, and won't be able to view new conversations or files shared by the group.
