how to add multiple users in teams chat in one go
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

Here is a CodePen do make this link automatically from a list of email addresses like you might get from an Outlook group: https://codepen.io/cjbarth/full/ZEeJBvN
All you have to do is type in the name of the Teams group you want, and paste in the list of email addresses (a Regex will extract all the email addresses, so don't worry about format), and you'll see a link you can click on to automatically create a Teams group.
- nice! very slick... I love it! Thank you!
- This definitely needs more likes and attention
This works perfectly. Thank you! - This is genius! Thank you so much.
- This helped me! Thanks! 🙂
(However, I believe that this thing should be "fixed" = added to MS Teams… Obviously, I and my colleagues are not the only ones struggling with it…)
