Hi, I see there is a limit of 0 to 100 users in a Chat Group. Will there be an update to allow more?

[image] Eloïse_Barrège: maybe a Channel is better as I have a category with all my ambassadors ? Is there a 100 people limit also with channels ? Yes, a channel would be better for this, rather than a group direct message. You can have more than 100 people in a regular channel.

I don’t know, maybe it is me but if you have over 100 user in a chat… is it still a chat? Could you explain your use case just so I can understand?

I imagine that like a slack channel with my ambassadors. maybe a Channel is better as I have a category with all my ambassadors ? Is there a 100 people limit also with channels ?

Not sure, you are going to have to wait for someone smarter then me to answer that

So basically, similar to how Discord works, right? You are saying that there’s no limit to how many people can join a channel and interact with it?

Thank you! So I’ve created my channel “Ambassadors” as I have a category exclusively dedicated to my Ambassadors. I have 94 Ambassadors (all in a Group that can access to my category). Do you know why in my channel I only have 64 members?

The rest 30 hasn’t visited yet in your forum, I would guess.

What do your mean by “visiting” as they at least configured their account on the forum o_O

They don’t trigger joining before they log in. I guess if you check out one of those you find that one hasn’t visited after you made that chat channel.

a channel would probably be a good fit
