Direct Messages in Separate Boxes

Now the direct messages are in separate boxes during zoom meeting. Is there an option to change it back to having the general and the direct messages in the same page?

This just happened to me yesterday and it took all day to figure out what was going on. I’d also like to go back to how it was and would like the answer to this.

Hello there,

This update improves on the previous system by allowing participants to have focused side conversations without interrupting the main meeting flow. Previously, all chat messages were visible to everyone, which could cause distractions or clutter. With subgroup chats, teams can coordinate privately—like presenters managing the program—making meetings smoother and more efficient. This targeted communication is why Zoom introduced the feature.

Regarding going back to the previous chat functionality, we have provided your feedback to the product team.
