When you share comments with other team members, you have the opportunity to add team members who did not participate in the conversation from the beginning. It's a quick way to involve another team member in a discussion/talk. Similarly, you can also temporarily remove a team member from a conversation.
Note: When you add a member, they will only be added to the current conversation. The next time you want to create a new shared comment with the group, the team member will not appear. If you want to add a team member permanently to the group, you need to start a whole new group conversation.
How to add/remove a team member from a group conversation

You have now added/removed a team member in the conversation.
Important to know when adding or removing team members:
- When a member of the team has been added to a conversation, he or she will be able to read all shared comments written in the conversation
- When a team member is removed from a conversation, the user is excluded from the conversation immediately
- All team members can see when a new team member is added or removed and who has added/removed the member
- All team members can add/remove team members in conversations
- Added team members will not be added permanently. So next time you start a conversation with the group, the member will not be there
- Removed team members are not permanently removed from the group call. So next time you start a conversation with the group, the member will again be there
- To add or remove a member of the team permanently, you must create a completely new group conversation where you add/leave out the team member from the start
