The chat feature is a great way to engage with other attendees within an event. You can use the Event chat which is Event-wide, or chat within different Event Areas such as Stages and Sessions about the specific content you have seen. There are also private messages if you would like to talk to another Attendee. This guide will walk you through how to access the chat in the RingCentral Events <obile App.

Event Areas Chat (Stages/Sessions/Expo)
There are also separate chats for each Event Area - this means you can react to specific content in a chat just for that Event Area!
