Now all the events running on this game will have chat functionality activated for the players. If activated, then chat icon (speech bubble) becomes visible on upper right corner when game is started in device. Players are notified with short sound and coloured dot above the icon, every time when new chat message has arrived. Short message preview is also shown.<\/p>\n<h3>Using chat while playing<\/h3>\n<p>It is possible for the players to send message to all teams or send a private message to certain teams. Also, you have the ability to mute the chat if a lot of messages are sent between the teams.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Message to all teams<\/strong> &#8211; click on the chat icon on upper right corner, type in a message and click &#8220;Send&#8221;. All teams and web-based chat feed will receive this message.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Private message<\/strong> &#8211; to send a message to specific team, push\u00a0&#8220;Choose team&#8221; button and choose\u00a0to which\u00a0team you want to send your message. Other ways how to send private message are 1)\u00a0type in @teamname:\u00a0your message\u00a0 or 2) click on a team name in the chat list and type in the message. Your message will be\u00a0sent to defined team only and remains secret for other teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"st-alert st-alert-info \">Remember that while your private messages do not show on everybody&#8217;s \u00a0device, they will still be visible on results page or in Loquiz PRO. So these messages are kind of private in a game, but not really private.<\/div>\n<h3>Chat online feed and administrator messages<\/h3>\n<p>It is possible for game instructor to send administrator messages to all teams or for specific teams. For this you need to log in at pro.loquiz.com and go to the results page of specific event, choose &#8220;Chat&#8221; subpage. You now have the possibility to send messages to all teams or aim your message only for certain team, as well as delete unwanted messages from the public list.<\/p>\n<p>With chat it is also possible to share URL links<\/p>\n<div class=\"st-alert st-alert-info \">Chat functionality relies on internet connection.
