View In-Meeting Chat in a Zoom Room
In-meeting public chat messages can be viewed in Zoom Rooms. In Zoom Rooms, when a new message is received, a notification is displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The user can view the messages on the Zoom Rooms controller and Zoom Rooms display. The Zoom Rooms display can also be set to disable the chat notifications.
Zoom Rooms do not have a chat feature available for users. Joining the meeting from a computer or mobile device will enable you to send chat messages to other participants during the meeting.
