Chat history when added during a group call
I encountered this same scenario, and it was not good.
I have long-running threads with colleagues A, B, C, A&B, A&B&D, etc.
I started a video call with A, by clicking the call button in the existing text chat thread with A. We decided that we should talk to B and C. I clicked the people icon and invited B and C to join us. We talked. It was fine.
Afterwards, I found that Teams had added C to a pre-existing thread I had with A&B.
Now, if I click the members of the thread and try to remove C, it says,
"Are your sure you want to remove C? C will still have access to the chat history."
Whaaat? So it appears that when you invite people to a video chat, Teams makes some decision about the best-matched existing chat group, and adds the extra people, without asking if they should have access to the chat history.
The more I think about that, the more I think I don't know how to use Teams safely.
