  {{id name="02-selectparticipants"/}}
  == Select participants ==
--Select one or more users from your list of contacts by tapping the checkbox next to the user's name.
++Select at least one user from your list of contacts and tap **Next.**
--Already selected contacts are indicated with an  [[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@icons_box_selected.svg]]  and can be deselected by re-tapping.
--You can combine contacts, lists, circles, and bots as chat members. Above the list of contacts, you will see an overview of all selected recipients and also be able to remove them from there.
++[[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@en_mess_create1.png||width="300"]]
--Please note the **maximum of members** that can be added to a chat, which will be shown above the overview (Members X / 500) during the creation. The default maximum for a chat is 500 members, but it may have been adjusted by your Teamwire administrator.
++Teamwire classifies your contacts into three types:
--Your contacts are split into four types and are listed per section.
++* **Contacts**
++Single user accounts (usually employees and colleagues) your administrator has allowed to communicate with. If Teamwire has been granted access to your address book, you may also find some of these contacts in Teamwire - even though they do not belong to your company directly. For more information, see [[My Contacts>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-mycontacts"]].
++* **Groups**
++Predefined groups of people (similar to a mailing list) your administrator has allowed to communicate with, or you have created yourself. For more information, see [[Groups>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-groups"]].
--* [[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@icons-user.svg||height="20"]] [[Contacts>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-contacts"]]
++* **Directory**
++You can manually search the Directory (former //Enterprise Directory//) for individual internal and external users that have not yet been synchronised. For more information, see [[Directory>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-directory"]].
--* [[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@icons-userlist.svg]] [[Lists>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-lists"]]
++The participants (so-called //members//) of your chat can be both individual contacts as well as groups. Please notice the **maximum of members** that can be added to a chat. The number of currently selected users will be shown during the creation (X / 1250 users).
--* [[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@icons-circle.svg||height="21"]] [[Circles>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-circles"]]
++Your list of contacts is arranged in alphabetical order (by the last name) but it still might feel challenging finding your colleagues within an excessive number of users. **To find colleagues and groups more quickly, make use of the search bar** located atop the list of contacts. It will show all user accounts matching your input.
--* [[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@icons-bot.svg||height="22"]] [[Bots>>doc:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-bots"]]
--## ##
--Although all contacts are arranged in alphabetical order (by their last name), in a large organisation it can become challenging to find the right user quickly. Therefore, make use of the [[image:Public.Applications.iOS.User-Manual.WebHome@icons-search.svg]] search bar, to find your contacts, lists, circles and bots per section.
