Hi @giancarlo1 ,

Have you tried these steps to troubleshot this? https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004809306-Enabling-or-disabling-in-meeting-chat

Thank you,

Hey @giancarlo1,

To follow up on Gianni’s message, I was able to reproduce this with v2.1.1 and this doesn’t seem to be expected behavior so I’ve created a ticket with our engineering team (ZOOM-332761).

To make sure i understand, was this working with previous versions of the Web SDK?

Thanks,
Max

@MaxM thank you.

We just realized that it was not the expected behavior. I also tested on versions 1.9.x and it didn’t work either.

Hey @giancarlo1,

Thanks for following up! No word on this just yet but much of our team is out of the office due to the holiday. I’ll let you know when I hear back from them.

Thanks,
Max

@giancarlo1 I haven’t heard back from our team on this so I followed up with them. I’ll get back to you when I know more.
