Deleting chat messages in a batch

We are having hackers attack our zoom meetings and sending 1000s of chat messages at once. Is there any way to delete all of them at once instead of having to delete them one at a time?

Hello @DMcNulty,

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

If you are using the latest version, you can click the three dots > more actions > clear chat history. 

Please note that it only clears from your view. 

 

Let us know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

Hi,

You will want to click on the "Chat" button to open the chat panel, then click on the three dots in the top-right corner and select "Clear Chat History."

 

Hope this helps!

This is not a solution. If one person spams the chat, deleting it from one person's view is not a solution if others in the chat can see it. There must be a solution where a host can delete the chats of a user or delete the main thread of a threaded conversation.

I am having a similar problem. I would like to delete chat history for all chats on the account. In Account Management > Reports > User activity reports > chat history, I am able to select the chats. I don't see an option to delete the history for any of these chats.
