Send a chat message with AT&T Collaborate

You can chat with all members or specific members in a workspace, or in private with one other team member.

Workspace chats are visible to all members of a workspace. Because workspaces are permanent, the chat history will be saved.

A private chat is between you and 1 other workspace member. Private chats are hosted in a 1:1 workspace.

You can enhance your chat messages using GIPHY® and emojis. The AT&T Collaborate app is integrated with GIPHY, so you can search a large online library of animated GIF files to post as chat messages.
