ONLY allow direct messages in the meeting chat

Community

Effective January 9th, 2026 through January 22nd, 2026: The Zoom Community is currently in read-only mode with login disabled, to deliver you a new and improved community experience!

The site is still accessible to view, however, the ability to login, create content, or access your community account is temporarily unavailable. We appreciate your patience during this time. If seeking support, please browse existing community content or ask our Zoom Virtual Agent.

We have a very large meeting - upwards of 100 participants every week. Having the chat open to "everyone and anyone directly" is not feasible because the messages sent to everyone become overwhelming and distracting. Has anyone found a way to disable the "everyone" option and only allow direct messages in the chat?
