Zoom on iPhone: How to Chat in Zoom

To begin messaging with one or more Zoom users, tap the Team Chat tab, then click the new chat icon. 

Tap anywhere on your screen. A bar will appear at the bottom of the meeting screen. The chat icon will be at the bottom of your screen on the menu bar. The chat symbol looks like a word bubble and is placed to the left of the “share screen” icon. Clicking on the chat indicator will pull up the chat panel. In the chat panel, you will have the option of entering text or (if enabled) files into the Zoom meeting.

Note that your text input box will be at the bottom of the chat panel.

Once you have accessed the chat panel, you can change who receives your chat message under “Who can see your messages?”

Where the chat panel says “To:”, you can access the blue drop down menu. The blue dropdown menu will say “Everyone” at the beginning of the meeting and allows for you to input certain individuals or a collection of people to create a private chat.

You should never, via chat, communicate with the judge, opposing counsel, or any testifying witness.
