Hey @k-build , thanks for posting and using Zoom!

Do you have this step?

`client.getFeatureModule('chat')`

Hey @tommy ,  
I was try to call getFeatureModule but I couldn’t call as well.

I’m using the client as a VideoClient instance.  
What instance of client should I use to use getFeatureModule?

Thanks,  
k-build
