Hey @adamm Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂 Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for: > [@In meeting chats](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/26572): > > Hello, Is there any API or webhook events available to retrieve in-meeting chats? I am using OAuth app with account level authorization. The documentation states meeting chats can be retrieved through cloud recordings and is a pre-requisite. If the meeting is not recorded and saved to cloud, is there any other way to be able to get the in-meeting chats? Thanks. > [@Zoom meeting chat API](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/23083): > > Is there a way to use an out of bounds chat interfere to send messages to a zoom meeting? The use case is a zoom meeting where only presenters join, put into Vmix to add overlays, lower thirds etc and pushed to a video player on a website. Chat would be done on the same website, but the intention is for the presenters to be able to any questions submitted via chat in zoom, without the having to open a third party tool to see invoking questions. Is that currently possible with the API? If these threads did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.
