Hi, Lauren,
You can access the Chat feature in the menu. I think on the PC it says More, not sure if I am remembering correctly, but you will recognize it as a button with more options in it..
In there is the option to raise your hand, and Chat is one of the items in the same list.
When you enter in on the Chat option, you can tab through to find your edit field to write into, keep tabbing through other sending options to the actual Send button itself.
Within chat, you can also see a list of chats and what people have said.
To get out of the Chat feature and More Options list, just escape back to the main window.
I use my phone or Polaris more for Zoom, so hope I have these options correct for the PC.

Hi,
I attended the seminar. It went a little fast for me. I was trying to take notes. Since I don't know how to do chat in Zoom, I wrote emails to the person in charge. He surprised me and conveyed my thoughts to the presenters in a very organized way; not typical of me, hahaha.
They did present a lot of news I never heard of; other speakers besides Alexa and other things Alexa can do than I realized. That info is on Amazon. Things are changing so much in that field, especially since people are at home so much more than before.
I am so thankful for Zoom. It has made it possible for me to keep in touch with people, besides phone and email, and for me to attend way more meetings than I could before covid.
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!
