Send a chat message during a video meeting

Prevent participants from sending chat messages in a video call
Important: Preventing call participants from sending chat messages is currently only available to G Suite for Education users. You can only enable this setting on a computer but it applies to all device types.
Meeting organizers can stop participants from sending chat messages. Participants will still be able to read the messages.
If you turn chat messages off in recurring meetings or meetings that use the same meeting code, the setting will be saved for the next scheduled meeting. If you turn chat messages off in a one-time, nicknamed, or instant meeting, the chat message setting will turn on after the meeting ends.
To turn chat messages on or off:
- Join a Meet video call.
- At the bottom, click Host controls
.
- Turn Send chat messages on or off.
Tip: If you can't turn the setting on or off, you might need to turn off a Chrome extension for Meet. Learn how to install and manage extensions.
Note: If you want guests to be able to edit a file, make sure you have shared the Google file with them.
