How to send a private message?
In a group chat, moderated chat and members chat, there are two options for sending messages.
- A group chat message – sending a message that everyone in the chatroom can see.
- A private one-on-one message to other online users in the chat room.
To send a private message (one-on-one message), please follow the next steps.
1. Log in to the chat room as normal.
To send a private message to another user in the chatroom, you will need to log in to the chatroom.
2. Choose the user you want to chat privately with
Click on the user’s name or picture on the user list.
A window will open where you can send messages. Once a message is sent, the window will pop in the other chatter screen.
* You can always Block a user from sending you a private message using the block button.
3. Private chat indicators
When you’re in a private conversation with a user, and receiving a message from a different user, a red indicator will be shown on the “different” user name (the one that sent the message) with the number of messages sent.
In addition, a red indicator will show on the top of the users list with the number of people that send you a message.
4. Video Call & Audio Call
If defined by the chat owner, one may call another user with a video or audio call (anonymously).
Click on the video or audio icons at the bottom.

5. Security and Privacy
Private chat is private. Admins can’t see the conversation.
You have the option to export a private conversation if you are part of the conversation.
