Prevent showing chat history when creating an adhoc group chat
Let's say we are creating an adhoc group chat with multiple people. After the first person is added to the chat Teams loads the chat history. Can I turn this functionality off? This ...
No unfortunately. But if you put everyone in new chat before tabbing down it’ll not show history other than that exact group if you had previously chatted.

Here are the steps:
1. Click 'New chat' button:
2. New conversation window opens
3. I start typing
4. Select the contact (Is this what you mean by tabbing? If so, I don't know how NOT to select it).
Result: History is there
That's because you effectively have a 1:1 chat. If you add the 3rd participant, it will open a group chat, and the history you are seeing from the 1:1 chat will NOT be shared.
