To remove recipients from an existing conversation, open the conversation, then follow the steps below:
- Click the X icon located to the right of the user that you wish to remove.

When a person is removed from the conversation, the following will be displayed within the conversation:
- The recipient who was removed will be grayed out in the recipients bar located at the top of the conversation.
- Events will be recorded to indicate that the recipient left/was removed from the conversation.
