Private Group Chats

How to stop users from creating private chats with more than person in turn creating a new private group.

We want our users just to be able to use the team channels we've created. Otherwise privately message people individually and not as a group.

@sachinzoom you didn't answer the question.

@Isaac_G we agree with you. We wish you could prevent users from being able to make private group chats. This would promote usage of approved channels. It doesn't make sense that you can restrict someone from making a private channel, but not a private group chat. It's not currently supported. We wish that restriction was supported.
