I’m using the web sdk and I want to disable the chat function from the client.init  
Something like:-  
client.init({  
isSupportChat: false,

Is this possible? Are there any other ways to stop participants chatting without the host having to intervene?

Also, Is there a document anywhere outlining what can be changed within client.init ?

Thanks,  
Mike

Hi @mike6 ,

yes, you can use that field to disable in-meeting.

Here’s list of settings / parameters which you can set with client.init

Hi @mike6 ,

Alternatively, you can consider using Account / Group / User settings to disable/enable meeting features as well [https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004809306-Enabling-or-disabling-in-meeting-chat](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004809306-Enabling-or-disabling-in-meeting-chat).
