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?

Hey @Imwebdev,

Currently we do not have APIs for [In Meeting Chat.](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203650445-In-meeting-chat)

The [Chat APIs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-channels/) we have are for [Zoom Chat](https://zoom.us/feature/messaging).

Thanks,  
Tommy
