Hello @Bipin P , thank you for reaching out. Please find the answers to the points shared by you in the post:

1. Create a new chat
   Ans: For creating a new chat in Microsoft Teams using the Graph API, you can use the following API:
   • POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages
     More details on this API can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/channel-post-messages?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
2. Update chat name
   Ans: For updating a chat message in Microsoft Teams using the Graph API, you can use the following APIs:
   • PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/(team-id)/channels/{channel-id}/chatMessages/{message-id}
   • PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/(user-id)/chats/{chatThread-id}/chatMessages/{message-id}
     More details on these APIs can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/chatmessage-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
3. Add and Remove members from Chat
   Ans: For adding or removing a member from the Teams chat using Graph API, you can use the following APIs:
   • To Add a user to chat: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{id}/channels/{id}/members/
   • To Delete/Remove a user from a chat: DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/V1.0/teams/{id}/channels/{id}/members/{id}

     https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/conversationmember-delete?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
4. Chat activities that which user added and removed in the Chat group.

Answer 2

Thanks for replying @soumi-MSFT ,

Please see below my explanation for my queries:
1) Create a new chat
You have provided me resource type of ChatMessage but I have asked for Chat resource type please do not conflict between ChatMessage and Chat.
Chat basically for a direct chat without a team.
I am trying to get those with the help of Get my chats. I am already aware of your given answers please highlight how we can create a new chat with one user or two users.

2) Update chat name
Same here I am asking for Chat update name, not the ChatMessage update. In this query, I want to update the Chat name. e.g. If the direct chat has two users named Bipin & John and Chat Name by default shows Bipin, John. Now I have to update to BJ Group. How I can achieve this.

3) Add and Remove members from Chat
Same here you have provided me, Team members API
I want an API request for Chat (Add Member/ Remove Member) Please see below URL I have tried in postman.
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/chats/19:c170643f7fXXXXXX9c54d1aef1bca520@thread.v2/members
Following error occurred

{  
    "error": {  
        "code": "UnknownError",  
        "message": "",  
        "innerError": {  
            "date": "2020-10-22T09:37:34",  
            "request-id": "604d0672-dddd-aaaa-bbbb-9dadf6bd2346",  
            "client-request-id": "604d0672-dddd-aaaa-bbbb-9dadf6bd2346"  
        }  
    }  
}  

Please see the below snapshot that I am asking about Chat, not about Team

4) Permissions:
Azure AD is allowing only 30 API Permissions in App Registration. I am not allowing to add more permissions beyond 30 In the Azure Active directory. Any reason behind this to restrict only 30 API Permissions.
