alitaqvi You can start a group chat with multiple users if you are typing their names and select each one as they are suggested. I'm going to guess your trying to copy/paste some list into chat?

Try creating a url link that follows the deep link format, it will accept multiple users as a comma separated list of upns

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=<user1>,<user2>,...&topicName=<chat name>&message=<precanned text>

Click the link and you'll get a group chat

alitaqvi Hello Ali,

On the left side panel, right click on the CHAT and select NEW CHAT from the drop down or press CTRL + N to start a new chat.

In the TO: field across the top, enter each person or group, no commas or semi colons required.

Then click on the SEND button.
