Communicating with Meeting Room Chat

Meeting Room chat is a public form of chat; you can use it to send typed messages to everyone in the meeting. You can use Meeting Room chat when audio is unavailable or when you need to ask a question during a meeting and do not want to interrupt the person who is currently speaking.

If you do not want to send your message to everyone in the meeting, you can double-click a name in the Participant List to start an instant chat meeting with that person.

To send a message with Meeting Room chat:

  1. Place the cursor in the text-entry area. Enter your message.


  2. Tip Press SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line in your chat message.

  3. Click Send or press Enter. The message appears in the chat-transcript area (above the text-entry area) and is seen by all meeting participants. Other participants' messages also appear in the transcript area in the order that they were sent.
