Zoom Chat While in a Meeting

At the end of last year, direct messages would have their own tab in the chat. I switched to running my classes in zoom because I liked that feature. Upon my return to school this year, that feature was gone. I really liked it because my direct chats get lost in the shuffle of all other messages and I am missing student chats. Is there a way to get that back or maybe a setting that I need to make for this to happen again?

Thank you

hi ​@HS-Algebra Teacher ,

Chats have not gone anywhere.
But you are probably using Zoom for schools and there could be specific changes set on you by your school admin.
I suggest you speak to your IT dept.
All the best

useful to know. After trying several dating apps, this site feels much more comfortable to use. You can snap the link now. The layout is clean and easy to understand. I like that you can quickly browse profiles and find people with similar interests. I’ve had a few really fun chats since joining. The messaging feature is reliable and simple. It makes meeting new people feel natural. I would definitely recommend it to others.
