**Description**  
(Please note that I’m a beginner in front-end tools while quite an expert in python.)  
I am trying to make an interaction between a python file and web SDK. Actually, I’m using the sample app provided by zoom. For example, assume that I have a timer inside the python file(Let’s say it prints out ‘10 sec’ every 10 seconds.). The API I want to make is that whenever the python file prints ‘10 sec’, the zoom web SDK(= sample app which is running on localhost) notices it and chats ‘Hi guys, 10 sec is gone!’ or send emoji to the channel, etc. How can I make the app notice/ interact with the python file’s state?

**Which version?**  
“name”: “websdk-local”,  
**"version": “1.8.3”** ,  
“description”: “Zoom sample app for web client WebSDK”,  
“main”: “index.js”

**Device (please complete the following information):**

- Device: mac
- OS: macOS Catalina
- Version: 10.15.7(19H2)
- Browser: chrome/ safari

Any comments would help.  
Sorry for the ‘dirty’ question, it’s my first question in the developer forum. Apologize.  
thx.

Hey @jiseung.hong, thanks for posting and using Zoom! 🙂

Unfortunately the Web SDK does not have a function or API for sending “[In Meeting Chat Messages](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203650445-In-meeting-chat)”.

Feel free to add this as a feature request here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Tommy
