**Description** Hi. Is there a way to disable the chat feature from the conference window completely? I can hide the bottom toolbar with `ZoomNodeMeetingUICtrlWrap.ShowBottomFloatToolbarWnd`, but user can still activate chat feature via the context menu of a video element: ![SeaTalk_IMG_1571047212](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/8/8132d2d79070aad1354b3ef75e9be40b743964b0.jpeg) I’ve been searching around the Electron & macOS SDK for hours but fail to find any related method if any. **Which version?** Latest Electron SDK ---

Hi [mos66](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/mos66), Our new Client SDK release is now available. You may find the latest Electron SDK here: [https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-electron/releases/tag/v4.4.56616.1029](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-electron/releases/tag/v4.4.56616.1029). To hide the chat feature, you may use the `@property(nonatomic, assign)BOOL hideChatItemInMeeting;` in ZoomSDKMeetingConfiguration.h. Hope this helps. Thanks! ---
