Chat mentions and formatting

Continuous Delivery Collaborate Ultra 20.22 | Release to Production 10 December 2020
New features

Interactions with peers and instructors can lead to greater student success. It's important for students to be able to engage socially and collaboratively. With this in mind, we are excited to introduce two new features added to Collaborate's chat.

  • Chat mentions
  • Message formatting

Chat mentions

Now attendees can tag someone in Chat when they mention them. Anyone tagged is notified so they don't miss it. Type the at (@) symbol and start typing who in the session you want to tag. Select the name when it appears in the list. Moderators are identified with a MOD label so they are easy to find.

Attendees can turn off chat mention notifications in their personal notification settings.

Message formatting

We've updated the Rich Text Editor (RTE) in the Chat panel. Now attendees can format their messages to really get their point across.
