Key Features of Threaded Chats
- My Threads Sub-Heading
Inside the webinar room, you’ll find a new My Threads sub-heading in the chat panel. This is your personalized hub for tracking all the messages you’ve responded to, listed in the order you replied. - Reply Counter
Each public chat message displays a reply counter beneath it, which updates in real-time as new responses come in. - Quick and Easy Replies
To reply to a message, click the reply counter under the chat bubble. This opens the thread for that message. After replying, simply click Back to Chat at the top left to return to the main chat feed. Your reply will be saved in the thread for ongoing interaction. - Track Your Conversations
Never lose track of a conversation! Use the My Threads sub-heading to view all your interactions, making it easy to revisit key messages or continue discussions.
