I so hate the new feature in in the Chat that shows whenever someone joins or leaves the zoom call.  HOw do I turn that off to just see the comments.

Yeah, same. When using breakouts in a large meeting, it does it every time people go in and out of the breakout rooms. The chat gets buried by a string of joining and leaving notifications. No thank you.

As far as I found out, when you remove this mark from checkbox in a process of scheduling new meeting, you do not have any notifications in chat box. Did not found any other option. Unfortunately you will not have continuous chat feature any more witch is quite cool feature 🙂

Thank you for the suggestions but I love the chat between others on the zoom, just hate it when chat gets filled up with the notifications of others getting on the call and getting off the call.  Zoom Tech support won't help me on this.

You are not disabling chat in zoom. Chat stays during the zoom meeting, but you wont be able to continue chatting after zoom meeting ends. That what new feature of continuous chat does 😉

Would love Zoom to chime in because we HATE this change as well and want to turn it off.

I literally have wasted over 20 hours on this issues and Zoom is totally silent on this.  Unless you are spending like a thousand dallars a month on zoom they don't take you serious.

Hard agree with that.  This new 'feature' renders the group chat frankly totally unusable. Zoom need to fix this as a matter of urgency!
