Hi,

Do you guys know if there is a way to Schedule Group Messages?
I send various messages regularly to my group and it would be great if I could skip always posting them manually.
Reminders are a great option in the Chat but I would like to schedule them instead, ahead of time.

Hi @yakrebma - I wanted to make sure that you were aware that you can schedule messages to be sent at a later time in Team Chat. You can do this by typing out a message then hitting the down arrow next to the send button.

Hi @Ner

Unfortunately, that is not currently possible with Zoom.

If you would like to submit any product feedback, I encourage you to visit our Zoom Feedback form, which is the official way to share any feedback or feature requests with the Zoom team. Thanks!

Did Zoom pick this feature yet? Zoom chat seems pretty old school for a user switching from Slack... inserting hyperlink in the text of a chat is painful, can't schedule chat sends, hyperlinks to docs in the synced drive doesn't give previews while posting.

Scheduled messages is targeting a release later in Q2 or Q3 after the release of Drafts, which contains a section in the top left that will host draft messages and then allow a user to schedule a message to send later.

I have not experienced any issues with links in Team Chat described above. Feel free to either paste a link into a Team Chat message and send or use the format button to craft the text of the link. You an easily share a message that already contains a link or quote the message as well.

As for features compared to Slack, few are missing, but Zoom has most and then offers a lot of features in chat that Slack can't or doesn't offer.

Hey @Hamilton-Zoomie any updates on when the scheduled send and drafts updates will be released? We're getting close to wrapping up 2023 soon and these are both on the top of my wish list for Zoom chat 😊

What version and distro of Zoom does this require? I don't have this functionality in 6.3.10 of Zoom Workplace.
