View, Add, and Remove Members from a Personal Chat

The creator of a personal chat can view, add, or remove members of a chat. Managing this list will either enable or disable the ability for those members to participate in the chat and see it from the Chat tool.

View Members of a Personal Chat

On the nav bar, click the People menu, then select Chat.
On the Chat List page, click the context menu to the right of the personal chat you want to modify, then select View Members from the menu.
By default, upon creation of the Personal Chat, the chat creator will be the only user in the Personal Chat Members list.
