How to have the old chat back

Last month the chat has changed and it is very bad when you use zoom for teaching. Before the message send to the host was displayed in the same window regardless the author and the author was indicated just before the message. Now each discussion is displayed in a separated window. This is awful when you use zoom for teaching session because the host has to switch between windows to see the answer of each student to a question. Of course it is possible for the students to send their answers to '"everybody" but at that time every body see the response of every student which is bad for teaching.

Give us the option to go back to the old chat.

I agree 100%.  We have a weekly Zoom game on chat, and with even 4 people, it is difficult to use the new chat. WHY this awful change? Can you go back,or at least give us the option to use the old chat format?
