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.
This works for me. In my current Teams I can right click on the chat and I have a 'move to' option, which allows me to create a new section, then I name that section as needed, placing it to the top of my chat lists. I am running Teams 25007.606.3361.4724, client version 49/25010620407
Holy cow, this is actually true for me too. I saw this comment, tried it, and no luck. I tried enabling the 'Public Preview' version of Teams in the settings, no change. Now I got a popup that I can make sections and move my chats around (basically the same as I did when we used WebEx).
Finally!!

Thanks
If you go to your three dots at the top right of the screen by your profile picture you can choose 'Settings'.
At the bottom left of that Settings screen is an 'About Teams' option.
At the bottom of that screen is a 'Public Preview' checkbox.
That, at least, is what worked for me. It definitely took some time after clicking for it to sync up but it did change.
Perfect. This can really help folk like myself that get tons of Teams chats and then have to go back and fin 'that one' in your chat history when a dozen or so folk would up in the discussion at different points.
