    Hi
    IT Support
    ,

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    250 members is the maximum limit that can be added. To add more than 250 you would need to upgrade your plan, please see below.

    Hi @IT Support

    The maximum number of people that can be accommodated in a Teams chat is 250, and this is by design.

    If you want to set up a chat with more than 250 people, the best way is to create a team and members can chat in the team's channel. A maximum of 25,000 people can be accommodated in a team.
