@Thursagen that possible duplicate appears to be irrelevant; it also states that it is a possible duplicate of another question which was closed nine years ago, but the link to what it duplicates is broken.– brethvoiceJul 15, 2020 at 12:09

If those users are not already involved in "chat", then there is (by design) no direct way to do this unless you are a moderator, as we do not want users bugged unless they want to be there. If they are on chat, you can request them individually, but please don't get carried away there. Where there is context you could also add a comment in the Q&A site "we could discuss this more in chat [link]"; however, again: do not go and spam everyone with a link - that would be... unappreciated.
We are also considering beefing up our relationship of rooms to tags, which would allow us to do a very targeted display of on-topic rooms, so the users could see the room naturally in the Q&A site.
To invite a user to a room, the particular user must be in chat. Once the person is in chat, you can click on their avatar & select: "Invite this person to a room.."
Alternatively, you can drop a comment to the user with a link to the room requesting the user to join the room
