Perhaps teams should be renamed couples to highlight this "feature" - I will be using email more and teams much less until this is changed.

So, had a long conversation with a user who now does not trust adding people to chats because she is unsure about the history they can see. Her solution is to drive conversations back to email. This needs to be clearer for less technical users.

Please give us the option to add a third person to a one on one chat - maybe you could have a setting where the other person in the chat has to click "Yes" if there is a consent concern. This is similar to the exporting chat request - right now it is almost impossible to show a third person a one on one Teams chat history.

Trying to add someone to a 2-person chat I am having. Instead of adding that person to the chat where I clicked 'add people' Teams just opens a pervious chat with the three of us and there is no way for me to include that 3rd person on the convo from the past day. WTF? What is the point of a collaboration tool if we can't add the users we need to add to the right conversations? I wish my company didn't force me to use this terrible tool. I hate it! Obviously from the years of comments about this issue, MS doesn't really care to improve the product. Instead I get silly updates like changing the colors and icons by surprise. PLEASE work on changing something important.

What is the purpose of having a collaboration tool if we cannot have this simple add function. This is key for organization that work in virtual forms and with multidisciplinary teams where they need to be adding in and out of a chat room. Please fix.

Teams always seems "more so".

****** microsoft omitting obviously needed simple features like this. Can't wait for Teams to be fully functional in the year 2090...

For Microsoft Teams chat, when you add a new member into group chat which has three or more members, the new member can view the history chat. However, when you add other person into the existed one on one private chat, the newest member cannot view the chat history - that option doesn't populate. This may be what you are seeing.
To upvote the request to add "Include Chat History" options when adding a contact to a one-on-one chat, please visit this UserVoice:

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.
