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

Thanks Steven - it worked for almost 70 address but i think due to long link path it doesn't accept more then 70 address in one go.

There's a limit of 50 people for Teams chats.

(And I think 1000(?) for Teams teams.)
