Okay ST, I need Zoom assistance. Have had a slew of Zoom meetings, so no worries there but the one tonight mentioned using "chat" to log-in attendees

... and questions for the end of the meeting. I am hosting the meeting and had never heard of the chat, so what do I need to do and know?

HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!

FWIW, I consulted with the experts: You (i.e. the Host) can interact with people in the Waiting Room. This blows my mind. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 08:48
I can jump into a literal Zoom with you in about 90 minutes if you've got the time. - Mop Feb 22, 08:12 1
- I launched a meeting and there was the chat button at the bottom. Literally never had a reason to use it so never noticed. All good now! -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 08:16
Zoom has an instant messaging service that's so obscure we have it turned off. Is that what they mean? - Mop Feb 22, 08:10 6
- Probably the in meeting chat. The organizer can get a chat transcript after the meeting, iirc. - colin Feb 22, 08:11 1
  - Think it's partially done so if someone is getting annoying and their name on screen does not tell us, we can check to see who they are during the - Spawn Feb 22, 08:19
- In meeting text chat? That would probably be it. Have never seen it in use. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 08:11 3
  - We use it during presentations. Attendees can post their questions to be answered at the end, rather than interrupt the speaker. -- nm - Meg Feb 22, 08:20
  - That's just the text box where people smack talk about you while you do a presentation. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 08:12
  - Hmm. Any settings I should tweak? -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 08:11
