The meeting chat

«Chat» in the bottom command bar opens the panel on the right (on the phone it is one of the four buttons of the bar). At the bottom of the panel you write in «Type a message…» and send with Enter or with «Send». If messages arrive while the panel is closed, the number of unread ones appears on the «Chat» button.

Writing to one person only

In the «Participants» panel, next to the name, the «Send private message» icon: in the chat an extra tab opens with the person’s name and a padlock, next to «Everyone». You switch conversation by clicking the tabs; the × on the tab is «Close conversation».

Sending a file

«Attach file» (the paper clip next to the message field), or drag the file into the panel: «Drop to share in chat» appears. It is for the document you are talking about, without leaving the meeting.

If the chat does not appear at all, whoever created the meeting switched it off («Enable chat» switch in the «Options» step).

⚠️ The chat lives as long as the meeting. Once the meeting is over the messages do not stay: what has to survive goes in the notes or into Files.
