Group Chat Firebase Structure

I successfully manage to create a one on one private chat using this structure

message {
          User1 {
                 User2 {
                         message1 {
                                     from: User1
                                     message: "Hi User One"
                                     seen: true
                                     time: (timeInMills)
                                     type: text
                                   }
                       }
                 }
           User2 {
                   User1 {
                           message1 {
                                     from: User1
                                     message: "Hi User One"
                                     seen: true
                                     time: (timeInMills)
                                     type: text
                                   }
                          }
                  }
         }

and now I'm planning to create a group chat that stores the same properties but unfornately I'm having a hard time to create a structure. Can someone give me an idea on creating a group chat structure

Try this:

Messages
  groupchat1
    userid
       message:hello
       time: (timeinMills)
       type: text
    userid1
        message: hello again!
        time (timeinMills)
        type: text

groupchat1 will be the name of the chatting group, it will contain the users that are inside that chat and messaging each other. Then you can retrieve the messages using FirebaseRecyclerAdapter
