Remove people from a group chat To remove people from a group chat in Teams: Open any group chat of three or more people, and hover over the number of participants. Hover over the person's name to be removed and select the X, then confirm you want to remove the participant. Note: An update in the chat will inform everyone that you've removed the person. People removed from a chat will be able to view previous chat history, but won't be able to send new messages, react to messages, and won't be able to view new conversations or files shared by the group. Note: If someone leaves or is removed from a group chat, their messages will remain in the group chat history. However, editing any message in a group chat makes that message invisible to former participants. For More Information To get further information contact: Instructional Design and Technology Help Desk
