Private chat
Chat privately with anybody else in your session.
By default you see the Everyone chat when you first open Chat. Select Previous Panel by the Everyone heading. Then just type the name of the person you want to chat with and start chatting.
Be careful what you say in your private chats! Moderators may supervise private chats between participants to monitor for inappropriate language or bullying. There is a warning when moderators are supervising.
Moderators can limit who participants chat privately with. Moderators can choose to allow participants to only chat privately with moderators.
Moderators also have their own private chat already created for them. Participants won't see the Moderators chat channel.
If moderators want to supervise private chat, the option must be selected BEFORE the session starts. See Session Settings for more on settings you can set before and during a session.
Only the Everyone chat is included in session recordings.
