Over two years to include this and still not done!

Extraordinarily basic feature that you cannot share a chat with someone else, either via "chat history" or even a rudimentary "Share..." button to send an email with the chat to someone. Please add/fix this.

this is really annoying I can't start a chat with 1 person and then add a second in later (choosing whether to share all the chat history or just 1 day/2days etc.)

I thought it was just me or the version of Teams I was working with. But looking at the thread, seems like this has been an ongoing issue since last year and what makes it worse is that I don't see any response from Microsoft. I would think this has enough weight to bubble up to the top of their break/fix bug process. Very disappointing and beyond annoying.

This kind of REALLY SUCKS. ;)
Detailed chat with a person >> need to share information with a third/fourth person >> must copy and paste all of the chat bubbles to a second Group Chat.
Irritating, but not surprising.

I had been able to include chat history via drop down menu, but that drop down menu is no longer available for me.

Yeah, this needs to be fixed. I had a chat with someone concerning a Production Support issue and now need to add a second person to it. Doing so would provide the second person with all of the information that he needs. But I can't and now I have to copy and paste all of the information from yesterday's chat with Person A into an email.

This one bit me today, very annoying. We wanted to loop another engineer into a detailed 1:1 chat. When I tried Adding them, I didn't see any options for sharing history, and it ended up switching the open chat to an older one between the three of us.
I tried hiding and even leaving the older chat, then tried adding him again...same result, no option to share history, it just created a new chat with the three of us.
Please, fix this!

When does a member of the Microsoft Teams Product Team respond to this thread?

Need the function to add one or more people to an ongoing chat.
Every conversation (Chat) leaves to a greater understanding of the problem being discussed and the need to bring in key people is necessary and right.
Competing products such as Slack allow this and I am trying to move the entire organisation away from slack to a more robust teams. -

this is an inconvenient and completely arbitrary definition of privacy. if someone wants to declare a chat as private when they start it that might make some sense but the ability to add people to a chat should definitely not be based on some irrelevant rule about how many parties are part of the initial conversation.

Yes this "feature" is irritating - and why should a 3-person conversation potentially be any less private than a 2-person conversation? At a minimum the option to add a person to a 1-1 conversation with chat history could require the other party to accept, but seems unnecessary. I find Teams a good product otherwise - come on Microsoft, sort this one out!

I agree - this makes using teams for ad-hoc chats less useful than email as you can't bring someone else in to an-ongoing chat without having to almost start again. If you add someone else to a chat then why on earth would you not want to share the conversation. The same options as when you join someone to a meeting chat would be ideal and surely must be easy to implement. Thanks
