I am getting the message below     Meetings have under 40 participants - not large   Have not gotten this previously   Anyone else experiencing?     Any solutions?

 

Messages addressed to meeting group chat will also appear in the meeting group chat in Team Chat

Due to the large number of participants in this meeting system messages for those who joined or left have been disabled

I'm having the same issue. We are all using the same link, so how the link is set up doesn't seem to be the issue as we have the same settings.  Also, it only started showing up (we've been using this link for months).  What does happen is that once I type a chat message, I can see the chat messages from others following mine (and people can see my messages).  Perhaps it does not save the previous chat messages for viewing if you join after the meeting starts (which makes no sense)?   Hopefully, someone from support will read this and answer.

Hello, @cpbricke and @CindyBrockGA!

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

If the meetings are recurring, there could be people who no longer attend who are still in the chat. Kindly check and remove any participants who should not be in the meetings.

Please let me know if this solves your inquiry or if you need further assistance.

but Admins of the room need that to monitor the room and attendee and timestamp of when they attend the meeting. please consider bring it back for the sake of all zoom meeting admins in the world. by the time it was available for a short period, it was extremely useful and make us happy as admins.

I got the same message just now, in a room that was being used for the first time, so the explanation doesn

t fit. There's something else going on. There were only 22 attendees and I believe this business account allows 50, but I may be wrong, I'm not the admin. Thank you in advance -Paul

I’m getting the same message all of the sudden, I have a pro account even and we’ve been doing this Zoom meeting for years.
