Breakout Session Chat

Hi There,

Hey so when we are in a breakout session it looks as though any attendee in the main meeting can "Send message to hosts" -- however I don't see how hosts can reply to these? Is this just a 1 way communication feature? Am i missing something?

Thanks!

Click on the name of the breakout room in the popup message.  You'll enter that room and be able to chat w/ that participant.

Thanks Greg - I should have been more clear... this is not a "chat" pod chat, this is a message from the "Contact Host" bar that appears when the breakout starts.

Re: Breakout Session Chat

yes, that's what i thought you meant.
when i receive a 'host' message during a breakout, i see a pop-up box, with a link to that room.  if i click on the link, it takes me to that room, where i can then interact with whoever sent the message.

-- using connect 7, haven't tried this w/ 7.5 yet.

I get the pop-up, click the link, go to the room... but the only way I see to interact with that particular attendee is to have a chat pod active in that room?! Is that what you mean?

Appreciate the help!

Re: Breakout Session Chat

Yep, that's it.  you should have the ability to enter the room via link and chat to the whole room, or just that person privately once you are in their breakout session.
