Chat
Overview of the InterMIND chat system — real-time messaging with automatic translation.
Chat
InterMIND includes a built-in chat system designed for multilingual teams. Messages are synchronized in real-time and can be automatically translated into each participant's preferred language.
How Chat Works
- Messages appear instantly for all participants
- All messages are stored on the server — if you join a meeting late, you see the full chat history
- Chat is available both during meetings (sidebar panel) and as standalone Channels on the Channels page

Chat Types
Meeting Chat (ad-hoc)
Every ad-hoc meeting has a chat panel in the sidebar:
- Messages sent during the meeting are linked to that meeting
- For ad-hoc meetings, the chat history is deleted after the call (except any agenda note or file the host attached at meeting creation, which is preserved)
Channels
Channels are persistent team chats that live on the Channels page, independent of any single meeting:
- Use them for ongoing team communication
- Start a meeting directly from a channel
- All members see the full message history, which is kept indefinitely
