What is the Messages module and what is it for?

In this article we will explain what the Messages module is, how to activate it and why it is useful for your virtual event.

In the Modules section of the side menu, you will find the available modules to add to your virtual event to activate different functionalities. One of them is the Messages module. 
This module aims to facilitate communication via chat between the attendees of your event.

How to activate it 

Locate the Messages module in the panel. If it is not in the list of Activated Modules, you will find it under Deactivated Modules. There, you will have to click on the "➕" (More) button so that it will appear in the Activated Modules section on the right.

Once the Messages module is activated, you will find 3 columns starting with the word App, which refer to the 3 available locations within the App to display the module once it is activated: App Lateral, App Inferior and App Principal. The last column Web Superior refers to the configuration inside your virtual event in the Web version.  

To make the module visible, you will have to tick ☑️on the locations that interest you. 

NOTE 📃: The visible modules are those with a white tick on a blue background ☑️.
