Occasionally, you may want to contact other participants through messages instead of arranging a meeting to discuss the service or product you are trying to showcase. In such cases, chatting with another participant can be a valuable way to determine whether a meeting should be held.

Press Chat under the attendee's details from the pop-up window. Introduce yourself and explain why you'd like to chat with them.
☝️ Note: You will have to write something to send the message.Click Start the conversation to send the message, and wait until you get a response!
💡 Tip! If you wish to carry on with a face-to-face meeting, click "Suggest meeting" from the Chat window and choose a time for a meeting. Then, you can join a virtual room together to discuss easily. You can read more on this here: How to suggest meetings.
