Adding External but Federated users in a group chat
Nope, not missing anything, you cannot do group chats via federation(external) chat yet.
However, a work around is to create a meeting with everyone, may have to have them join the meeting then click chat, but then you can have an external chat that will be available across everyone's clients. Not ideal, but it works for now until we can get External group chats in. Once you chat, you also don't have to stay connected to the A/V of the meeting and still use the chat going forward.
No word on ETA etc. that I can share unfortunately.

This is frustrating. We are currently using slack for cross-team communication but our partner is trying to move to Zoom Chat (I know). Our CEO said "Why don't we use Teams? I know they have MS365 as well". Great idea, I said... little did I realize it wasn't even possible 😞
