A Zoom meeting chat offers two additional features. These are links and attachments:

Internet addresses starting with “https://” tai “http://” will be automatically converted to working links. Copy-pasted links will also work.

Files can be attached with the File -button. Consider how others will be able to open the file types that you attach.

Note! Do not use a Zoom conversation as a material bank. Participants may not be able to access the conversation unless the organiser is already in the meeting, nor does the conversation history remain.
