How to create a channel group

[dellwatson]

im about to create a channel group and what's the limitation of people joining ?

@dellwatson Can you clarify what you mean by channel group? As of right now XMTP does not support group chats natively.

[galligan]

@dellwatson appreciate the clarity!

Currently many:many chat is not something that XMTP supports, though there is great interest in group chat both within the XMTP Labs team and the broader community.

What kind of use cases are you most interested in exploring?

not sure what do you mean with that.
but im currently building bunch of web3 browser game. One of them is a multiplayer and can form a party.
and since it's a web3, i prefer using web3 messenger as well, and im already hooked with xmtp since lenster released.

i think we can figure it out, and might be tricky. but i had priority now and will explore more on mid june, and contribute as much as i can. because this is a must too for my web3 game XD

@dellwatson Ok got it. So you're looking to have group chat in the app? 1:1 chat is supported with XMTP today, but group chat may be on the horizon, so I can follow up as soon as it's ready!

Hey @galligan, are group chats supported/in the works? Do we know when this will be available?

Hello, @galligan, how do you do?

Just a follow up to this question asked. Is the group chat feature implemented as of now?
