Eyeson meetings include a built-in temporary real-time chat functionality that enables participants to exchange messages during sessions. This feature can be leveraged and customized to support various communication needs within your application.

The chat event is triggered when a chat message is received in the meeting. This event provides details about the message including the sender information, timestamp, and content.

  type: 'chat',
  user: {
    name,

  }
  timestamp, // JavaScript Date
  content
}
