Chat history when added during a group call
On Teams, I use a group with two coworkers to chat. I have initiated a call from this group. During the call, I have added two other coworkers. Have these two new coworkers accessed all the chat hi...
This caught me off guard. I still haven’t seen an article on the subject, but I have definitely stressed about this exact situation. Given the optionality as to including chat history when properly adding a new member to a group, I imagine that adding a participant to a video call doesn’t default include any historical chat (or any?). Would love some official confirmation and even more detail.
Ideally, we learn that outside users added to a video call initiated from within a group are never actually members of that group during the call. For instance, to apply your example further, do you think the two non-group users had group membership based permissions to shared files and resources?
Not an IT guy. Just curious.

- No worries here. If being on a chat with someone and adding a third to join in a call there's a new chat created in the background where this new person is being added to (so in this scenario they are now three) no history of the initial chat between the two. If using "add people" from the chat itself then you get the option to include chat history or not.
When comes to chat access in general and chat in meetings this is the official article.
