Meeting chat unavailable until you join the meeting
Hi avpacheco
It’s worth noting that, although the Chat with Participants link is displayed in the invitation page before joining the meeting, this will not work.
So keep in mind, if you click on this link, you’ll get a message warning that ‘Chat is not available until you have joined the meeting’.
Chat is only available after joining the meeting
I'm a little confused by that because I have scheduled other meetings and attendees accessed the chat just fine before joining. Why is the chat unavailable sometimes and not others?
avpacheco could it potentially be due to internal vs. external?
For example, when I'm invited to another meeting by someone internal (user on our tenant) I can access the meeting chat prior to the meeting.
However if it is an external person inviting me to the meeting, when I try to access the chat I get the message 'Sorry, chat is unavailable until you join the meeting'.
