Chat and share files

Messages and files in a meeting are end-to-end encrypted. Only the people in the meeting can read them.

Send a message#

1. Select Chat in the meeting controls, or press C.
2. Type in Message everyone.
3. Select Send.

Messages go to everyone in the meeting. When the chat panel is closed, the Chat button shows how many messages you haven't read yet.

Share a file#

1. In the chat panel, select the attachment button (Share a file).
2. Choose a file.

The file is encrypted on your device before it uploads. You'll see "Encrypting · uploading" with progress. There's a size limit for files — the button shows it, and Glow Meetings tells you if a file is too large.

Download a file#

Select Download on a file in the chat. It's decrypted on your device.

After the meeting#

• Chat is kept only on devices that were in the meeting. If you join from a new device later, earlier messages won't be there.
• Shared files stay available for about 7 days after the meeting. After that, "This file is no longer available".
• You can review past chat under Previous meetings on your Meetings page. See Meeting history.
