How do I remove people from Facebook Chat?

[8675309(jenny)]

There's people on my Facebook friends list that I don't necessarily want in the chat. How do I remove them? I tried putting them into different groups but they still show up even if I "uncheck" display these friends.

You can't remove people off facebook chat unless you delete them off your friends list.

You can block a friend from chatting with you by putting them on a Friend List, and then choosing to go offline to that Friend List.

If you would prefer that this individual no longer be able to contact you on Facebook, you can also block them from interacting with you on Facebook.

Using Friend Lists in Chat simply means having organized groups of friends appear in separate lists on your Chat menu. There are many benefits to this feature:

Appear "invisible" to some people and not others: By having separate lists for different groups, you can choose to "Go Offline"—which means appear invisible—to some groups of people. At the same time, you can stay visible to chat with other groups of people.

Find individuals in your Chat list quickly: If your Chat list is very long, then having Friend Lists makes it easier to find individuals. For example, if you want to talk to your brother, you can quickly look under the list you’ve created for family, find him, and then send him a chat message.

Keep the friends you chat with the most at the top of the list: Your Friend Lists will always appear at the top of your Chat menu, which means you can keep the people you chat with the most at the top for easy accessibility. You can always customize which Friend Lists appear in Chat if you want to see some Friend Lists and not others.
