I see right now it’s possible to link a chat channel to a category or a topic and then also to have personal chats with people one adds, but, I don’t see a way to connect a chat channel to Discourse Groups found at, for example, Discourse Meta . I’d love this feature to be able to automatically set …

I did it using detour — using category limited to a group. Same result, different solution.

Haha, I like that idea and think that’ll probably be fine for now, especially if I make the category permissions so that only people in that group can see the category. Thanks for the suggestion, @Jagster ! :smiley:
