What is the best way to start a chat conversation with multiple people?

Sending the chat to everyone at once is the most efficient method to initiate a conversation with multiple participants. This approach allows you to quickly engage all parties involved without the need for additional steps. When you send a chat message to multiple individuals simultaneously, everyone can see the communication in real time, facilitating immediate responses and interaction.

This method is especially useful in environments where swift collaboration is needed, such as during project discussions or team updates. It promotes inclusivity, ensuring that all selected participants are engaged from the start of the conversation.

The other options involve more complex processes or are not suitable for starting a simple chat. Adding contacts from the Contacts tab does not initiate a conversation; it merely organizes your contacts. Creating a meeting within Teams is more formal and suitable for scheduled discussions rather than spontaneous chatting. Forming a new team and adding members is more relevant for long-term collaboration rather than immediate, ongoing conversations. Thus, sending the chat to everyone at once stands out as the best choice for initiating dialogue with multiple individuals.
