Show/hide chat panel

You can type to chat with others in either a chat or event using the chat panel. To speak with others, use the microphone and speakers.

 

Use the Show/hide chat icon Show/Hide Left Panel to toggle the chat to maximize or minimize the chat in the Center panel. This is especially useful during video conferences where no notes or presentation is taking place and all participants are using a webcam so that all video windows are maximized.    

 

The default view for the room in an event is to hide the Chat panel. Click on the Show chat icon at right to see the room with the chat panel hidden.

Chat limits in a room  

 

There are a maximum of 5,000 characters for each unique text entry in the chat panel. Once you hit this maximum, you will see a message like the one at right.

Too many characters

   

500 unique chat entries are visible on each Chat page, after which a new Chat page starts. When the new page starts, you will see navigation arrows at the top right of the chat area. Use the arrows to navigate back and forward in the chat pages.     

 

Click the Save button above the Chat area to save the chat as an .html file that can be launched in a browser window. The chat is saved as HTML so that links in the chat area remain clickable.

Chat History stores 10,000 unique chat entries on 20 pages. Once that limit is reached, you will see the message at right. The next chat entered will cause the first chat to be discarded when the room is closed.    

 

If you want to save your chat history, click OK to close the message window and use the Save button Save to save the chat history to your local drive. The chat is saved as HTML so that links in the chat remain clickable.    

 

You can clear your chat by right clicking in the chat area and choosing Delete chat history.    

 

Using Delete chat history cannot be undone.
