To send a message to all conference participants, type the text you wish to broadcast in the box
under the All Users window and click Send.
If you wish to only chat with certain members of a conference, click the chat button
next to the
participant you want to add to your private conversation, and select Create a New Conversation
with Participant. A tab that contains the participant's name appears in the chat window. Any text
you send or receive under this tab is only visible to those in your private conversation.
To add more participants to your private conversation, select the conversation to which you want to
add a participant, click the chat button next to the person you wish to add and select Add
Participant to Selected Conversation.
If you have multiple private conversations running at the same time and a new message arrives in a
conversation that isn't selected, the chat balloon icon
appears with horizontal lines.
To end a private conversation, click the exit button
in the tab you wish to close. When you close a
tab, the remaining members of the conversation see a notification that you've left. They're still able
to chat privately with each other even if you started the conversation.
NOTE: You can't close the All Users chat window.
If you receive a message while not viewing the lobby screen or the participant list, a notification
bubble appears. The participant list icon
turns green, flashes three times, and then remains
green until you view the new message.
Click the notification bubble to open a chat window and view the incoming message.

to the other participants.
NOTE: This option is not available if the
owner or presenter has disabled sharing requests.
