During a Zoom Meeting How to Use Zoom Chat

The chat feature in Zoom can be a great way to engage students while you are teaching. It can be used in multiple ways including as a way to communicate without disrupting the flow of the greater discussion or to troubleshoot tech with a student who is having an issue with their audio.

While in a meeting, click Chat in the meeting controls.
This will open the chat on the right. You can type a message into the chat box or click on the drop down next to To: if you want to send a message to a specific person.
When new chat messages are sent to you or everyone, a preview of the message will appear and Chat will flash orange in your host controls.
