Chat

How can I mention someone?

Just type their name and they will receive the corresponding notification. You can use autocomplete by pressing Tab; no special prefix is required for mentions.

What kinds of mentions will notify me?

By default, you receive notifications when your display name or username is mentioned. You can add other names, nicknames, or keywords that should notify you in the Notifications section of settings.

How do I send a file?

Simply drag the file into UCMeet Chat and it will upload automatically. You can also click the paperclip icon in the message field and choose a file from your device.

Can I upload a file from a mobile device?

Yes. On mobile, tap the upward arrow on iOS or the “+” icon on Android in the chat and choose a file.

How do I invite a contact to use UCMeet?

You can invite someone to a room using the “Invite to this room” button in the member list on the right. Enter their UCMatrix ID, if they have one, or send an invitation by email. Users without a UCMatrix ID can preview the room if the room rules allow it.

Can I see whether a message has been read?

Yes. UCMeet Chat shows who has read a message by displaying the user’s avatar to the right of the message. Hover over that avatar, or tap it on mobile, to see user information and the read time.

How can I find a file or message?

To search in a room on desktop, click the magnifying-glass icon at the top of the screen. Enter a keyword or file name, then choose whether to search within the current room or across all conversations. For encrypted rooms, search works only on desktop, not in the UCMeet Chat web or mobile apps, and you must enable Message Search in the UCMeet security and privacy settings.
