Add people to your group conversation
  1. Enter the name or email address of each person you’d like to add.
  2. Select Start a new chat (no message history), then click Next. A new group conversation will be created. It will include each member you’ve added, but  no existing message history will be shown. The message history will still be available in the group conversation that doesn’t include any new members.
