U-M Zoom
Issue
Is Zoom Team Chat available at the university? What is the difference between Zoom Chat and the Zoom in-meeting/webinar chat?
Resolution
Zoom Team Chat is a service separate from U-M Zoom and is not available at U-M.
Furthermore, Zoom Team Chat is not the same as in-meeting chat. While both are messaging solutions that enable you to communicate via instant messaging, Zoom Team Chat and in-meeting chat serve two different purposes. Zoom Team Chat is a workstream collaboration service like Slack and Google Chat which enables you to message and collaborate from the Zoom desktop and mobile apps at any time. In-meeting chat is only available within your Zoom meetings/webinars and allows you to message all participants in the session or send private messages to individual participants.
