How Group Conversations Work
Sending messages in a group works the same as direct messages:- Open the group conversation

- Send it with Enter or the send button
- Typing indicators
- Seen states
- Unread badges
- Failed-send retry
- Automatic updates while the chat is open
Group vs. Direct Messages
Managing Group Participants
The current web messaging UI does not expose:- add-participant controls
- remove-participant controls
- custom group renaming
Best Practices
- Keep group membership focused so unread counts stay manageable
- Use direct messages for side conversations that do not need the whole group
- Start a fresh group if the participant list changes materially
Notifications in Groups
Group conversations follow your standard message notification settings. You will be notified about new activity through the channels you enabled for messaging.Related Topics
