Dear supporter,
I'm struggling to find the way to chat with a zoom participant.
As a host I'm expecting to have a simple way to chat with an individual participant, but I'm failing to do so.
My question is:
How can I chat with a specific participant while zoom session is running?
Can a non host user initiate a chat with the host?
Waiting desperately for your advise...

I think the instructions you are looking for are located here https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203650445-In-meeting-chat. Make sure your app meets the prerequisites (I believe this also applies to the person you are trying to send the message to).

In addition to the above, here's some info on private chat in a meeting: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360060835932
I thought, but I might be wrong, that hosts could always private message someone via the chat window if chat was allowed. You need to open the chat box, and in the "To:" field, where the drop down says everyone, you can still change that to send a private message to one person.
