Chat Box limit on characters?

Hi -- I'm wondering if there is a character limit in the chat box?  Some times I have around 800 characters in a passage I need to share with my group and a message appears saying 'message is too long".   Thanks

    Hello @seniorcook,

    Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

    The maximum characters allowed in a single chat message is 4096.

    Please let us know if you need further assistance.

    Hello Mark - Your response is not true!  No way does the CHAT allow 4096 characters!  I am cut off at around 500.  Others on this forum have also asked why we need to be limited.  My daily group usually have to share a passage or so of text, but we always have to type it twice or three times to get it into CHAT in segments.  -janet, Senior Cook

    Hello @seniorcook. I'm sorry for the confusion it is for the characters used not per word on the team chat. I apologize the updated character limit is 4000 not 4096. The limit is to prevent server load.



    In this regard, we would advise using Zoom Docs that you can share with your group. Zoom Docs is a flexible, collaborative solution for creating docs, wikis, tables, and more in Zoom Workplace, with AI Companion capabilities at its core, included at no additional cost.
