Chat to everyone in the meeting

When you join a meeting, you can view all the messages that were sent since the meeting started. If you're discussing sensitive content, we recommend that you don't use your Personal Room for meetings. If you don't lock your Personal Room and have back-to-back meetings, anyone who joins can see messages since the Personal Room was open. Chats to everyone are saved in the post-meeting summary.

When there are unread messages, a blue dot shows on Show chat Unread meeting messages indicator.

At the top of the chat window, click Everyone, and type your message in the message area.

Add personality with emojis or animated GIFs, and also add formatting or markdown to make your messages stand out or be easier to read.

If your organization doesn't save meeting messages, you can't forward or flag a message. Messages sent during breakout sessions aren't saved.

What to do next

If your organization saves meeting messages after the meeting ends, you can access the meeting messages and forward them to another person or space in your organization, if you have Messaging enabled.
