Live Chat lets you and your guest exchange messages in real time during a Honeit call without leaving the call window. It's useful for sharing links, spelling out names, flagging audio issues, or keeping a written side conversation going while recording.
Who can use it
Anyone on the call can open chat and send messages. This includes the host, the guest, and any additional participants if it's a group call. All parties see the same chat thread in real time within the Honeit call window.
Note: Chat is not available on non-recorded cold outbound calls, since those run as phone calls rather than browser-based video calls.
How to open chat
Once you're connected to the call, look at the top toolbar next to the Mute button.
Click the three-dot (kebab) menu.
Select Chat from the dropdown.
The chat panel will slide open on the right side of your call window. Your guest can open their chat panel the same way on their end.
Tip: On smaller monitors, the call toolbar buttons can look crowded or overlap. If you can't find the kebab menu, zoom out your browser by pressing Ctrl + minus (or Cmd + minus on Mac) until the buttons space out properly.
Sending a message
Type your message in the Type a message box at the bottom of the chat panel.
Hit Send or press Enter.
Your message appears in the thread along with your name and timestamp. Anyone on the call can see and reply.
Good to know
Chat only lives inside the Honeit call window. It is not an SMS or text message and does not go to anyone's phone.
Messages are visible to everyone on the call, including additional guests if it's a group call.
Chat history is not saved to the call recording or transcript. Once the call ends, the chat thread goes away.
If you need to preserve something important from chat (like a URL or a clarification), copy it out before ending the call.
Emoji and basic text are supported. 😁
