in-app chat to send messages to other video
participants without leaving the call.
Using the messages panel,
participants
can send chat messages within the
video call window. Click the message
icon in the top
right to open the
panel.

If other participants do not
currently have the in-app chat panel
open,
they will see a blue unread indicator
on
the message icon as well as a
temporary
preview of the message.

uninterrupted. If you refresh the page
or
end the call, for example, previous
messages will no longer be visible to
you.
