Chat Messaging on an Android Device

While in a video visit, you can send text messages to the group chat.

Messages in a chat:

  • Are visible to everyone in the video call.
  • Are available only while the video call in process. Chats are not logged or archived.
  • Can include links that let you share published images, videos, files, or websites.
  • Cannot be deleted or edited after being sent.

The Chat panel also shows when participants join or leave the video visit.

Participants see only those messages that were sent after they joined the video call.

When a new message is received, a red circle appears showing the number of unread messages.

 

  1. To show the Chat Panel, click Chat button on the left side of the video window.
