As you mentioned, SignalR is going to be a great option and there's plenty of examples out there that use it but don't involve the .NET Core version (the original version didn't target Core). If you search around, you should have no trouble finding the various components you are looking for.

It's also worth noting that the JabbR project is completely open-source and is a fully featured chatroom service (with multiple rooms, etc.) that is based on SignalR.

You can use SignalR for real time chatting, its pretty easy to get started with SignalR Hub and which help to communicate to and fro, server and client.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/getting-started/tutorial-getting-started-with-signalr-and-mvc this link is for getting started with ASP.Net MVC 5 and SignalR chat room, For rooms you can use Group Feature of SignalR, It alows you to broadcast message to specific subscriber, you can also manage the connection by yourself its not big deal and broadcast message to selected subscriber, private chat is can also be implemented.

To retain message and history of chat there are several techniques you can use, Event Grid, Service Bus, Redis are few options.

Hi abdullahdarc...,

As far as I kmow, you could try to use signalr group to achieve your requirement. One group means one room.  One user joins one room, you just add that user to the group of that room, and when you want to broadcast message, just send the message to the clients in the group.

More details about how to achieve it, you could refer to below article:
