Teams is posting my message in different channel and chat intermittently

Hi, I create a group chat with 3 users and posted a message. I noticed it ended up in a Meeting chat group where those 3 users existed with a wider group. The chat was sensitive and should not have gone to the wider audience.

I have just seen another occurrence today where the chat was directly to an individual and ended up in a chat group that had that individual in it. This is really concerning and will appreciate if someone can look into this. Thanks.

    It sounds like you are experiencing issues with message routing in Microsoft Teams, where messages intended for specific group chats are being posted in broader channels or chats. This can be concerning, especially when sensitive information is involved.

    One potential reason for this behavior could be related to how Teams handles conversations and group chats. If a user is part of multiple chats or channels, there may be instances where messages are inadvertently routed to a broader audience due to the way the chat or channel is structured. Additionally, if you are using a bot or automated process to send messages, ensure that the correct identifiers (like Conversation IDs) are being used to target the intended chat.

    To troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Verify that you are using the correct chat identifiers when posting messages.
    2. Check the settings and permissions for the group chats and channels involved to ensure that they are configured correctly.
    3. If this issue persists, consider reaching out to your IT support or Microsoft support for further assistance, as they may be able to provide more specific insights based on your organization's setup.

    It's important to ensure that sensitive information is handled appropriately in your communications.
