I think it would be good to know when players are available for chat Some kind of link to player.

Nice board function, I was about to start a thread on this subject when this thread was suggested.
Anyway nobody seems to ever be in a group chat so it’s an underused feature that should be brainstormed again. At least some sort of indicator if a player is in.

When they’re in chat it’s xbox party chat. Sometimes legit, sometimes teaming on you. The teams working against you are typically at the 5M table.

I was suggesting that some sort of indicator showing a player was currently entered into chat, like a small, green icon on the player name popup/splash but you’ve brought up refinement of that because it would be even more interesting if that green icon, which would be defaulted to being grayed out (not in chat,) would show yellow to indicate a player was in private chat. That would dampen the effectiveness of colluding players. There may be a technical issue with the latter if the dev team can or can’t query that variable, since private chat on xbox is Microsoft data it may not be available to the game. It would be awesome though.
Imagine being able to look at the name splash of other players and 2 players have yellow indicators. Or even checking players and discovering that other players had a green indicator. That would absolutely boost engagement of the group chat. As it is now the only way to tell is enter chat, ask if anyone’s there (which nobody,ever is,) then exit. Nobody wants to leave a mic open when nobody is there.
However with an indicator it suddenly becomes an invitation.
Trouble is it goes both ways and could lead to false accusations. Plenty of times I’m in a chat, chatting with others playing other games or maybe I’m knocked out of a private tourney and playing ring tables while waiting for the next tourney. Chat in itself is neither good or bad. It would be cool if more people used the table chat though.
I think I misunderstood your previous comment. Are you saying that the PP group chat is xbox chat, like the private one?
I’m not sure. I’ve never seen anyone in the PP chat.

I’ve given up! Literally never anyone in chat.
