Hello there! Today, I would like to discuss a common issue that arises while using Zoom: deleting comments in the chat. It could be due to a typing error, a message that you wish you hadn’t sent, or just wanting to tidy up the chat. Knowing how to delete comments can be very useful.
Deleting comments in Zoom chat is a straightforward process. You don’t need any special privileges or admin rights to do it. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open the Chat Window
First, you need to open the chat window in Zoom. To do this, simply click on the “Chat” button at the bottom of the Zoom window. This will open the chat panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
Step 2: Find the Comment to Delete
Once the chat window is open, scroll through the chat history and find the comment you want to delete. You can easily identify your own comments as they will have your name next to them.
Step 3: Hover Over the Comment
Hover your mouse over the comment you want to delete. You will see a three-dot icon (also known as the “More” button) appear on the right-hand side of the comment.
Step 4: Click on the “More” Button
Click on the three-dot icon to reveal a dropdown menu of options. From this menu, select “Delete”.
Step 5: Confirm Deletion
After clicking “Delete”, a confirmation dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Click “Delete” again to confirm and remove the comment from the chat.
And that’s it! The comment has been successfully deleted from the Zoom chat.
Now, it’s worth noting that deleting a comment in Zoom chat will only remove it from your own view. Other participants in the meeting will still be able to see the comment unless they manually delete it from their own chat panel. So, make sure to communicate with the person who made the comment if you want it to be deleted completely.
I hope this guide has been helpful in showing you how to delete comments in Zoom chat. It’s a simple yet useful feature that can help keep your chat history clean and tidy. So, the next time you spot a comment that you want to erase, you’ll know exactly how to do it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, deleting comments in Zoom chat is a quick and easy process. With just a few simple steps, you can remove any comment you want from the chat. Remember, though, that deleting a comment only removes it from your view and not from other participants’ screens. So, if you want a comment to be deleted completely, make sure to communicate with the person who made it.
I hope you found this article helpful, and may your Zoom chats be free of any unwanted comments!
