Is there a way to create custom Chat sections other than Pinned and Recent?
To be clear, I think this is tied to the Public Preview option. I enabled it, a few minutes later I got the popup and could make groups of chats. I tried disabling the option and restarted Teams, the groups went away. Re-enabled, groups are back.
The option is in the About Teams section (bottom left of Settings screen) at the bottom.
Definitely need better chat grouping options. I work across approx. 20 teams as we make product(s), so there are LOTS of people I interact with every day, and so I started pinning "important active" conversations I didn't want to get lost in the "recent" list" with so many messages every day.
But now my "pinned" section is nearly a full screen tall and there is no other organization ability in Teams to help with this is there?
I agree - some custom grouping would be nice (and please don't suggest "Teams Teams" (vs "Teams Chat" as the "teams teams" (come on Microsoft, do you really not have better UI naming chops?) is even harder to use with "general" and other threads becoming more hidden and don't even get me started on trying to use a meeting chat to take notes (and then you can't copy paste them later from inside Teams! Argh! There is a reason people pay to use Slack!)
