Hide the Chat In the Virtual Event Hub and Attendee App
Yes, you can! When the chat is disabled, the chat tab hidden from the virtual event hub and attendee app.
Notes:
If all the other sub tabs for attendees, polls, and Q&A are also disabled, the right side panel in the virtual event hub also disappears. This means that if you've added carousel images in the lobby chat or session chat, these won't be displayed anymore.
In the app, the Activity tab will still be there for session, but the sub tabs will be hidden.
Admins may still see that chat area and send messages in the virtual event hub, but attendees won't see it anymore if it's turned off.
Lounge chats cannot be turned off.
