New Zoom Chat - I want the old chat where I can see all the private messages at one glance

I do not have time to click person by person during a discussion meeting.
Most times their suggestions come to me (the host) via the chat and I do not want others to see their inputs.

Now, I have to click name by name to check their inputs. Ridiculous when I have almost 100 people in the meeting.
I need to be able to read all incoming messages quickly at a glance as we are discussing stuff.

Please allow us to choose if we want to see all messages at a glance instead of having to click user by user!

They've replied me via email. Tried & tested. This works! I have the old format back!

To fully resolve the issue, please disable “Meeting chat - Private group messages” from the web portal settings to revert back the in-meeting chat behavior. It is enabled by default.

To disable the setting “Meeting chat - Private group messages", kindly refer to this page:

Totally agree—managing chats from so many participants individually in large meetings is impractical. A unified view of all incoming messages (even private ones) would make the conversation much more efficient. Definitely a much-needed feature!
