chat group

Online talking circle

A chat group is a digital space where multiple people exchange messages in real time, typically organized around shared interests, projects, or relationships.

Unlike one-on-one messaging, chat groups allow simultaneous conversation among all members: The work chat group blew up while I was on vacation.

Most messaging platforms—Slack, Discord, WhatsApp—are built around chat groups.
