Chat history and definition of complete session

Chat history and definition of complete session

I started using Chat this week on a course and had 2 questions. I noticed on the forum that both had been asked before but never answered.

1. when students enter the chat "late" they can't see the earlier messages - it there a way to make the earlier messages visible to them - it would make a huge difference to our ease of use and productivity

2. I'm struggling to figure out when moodle thinks a Chat session has ended and records it in the "view past sessions". Will there be separate listed sessions if I have to come out and go back in to Chat?

Hi

I have the same questions.

I embed the chat and then when switching pages the history is gone.

Plus How do you prevent the page from focusing the textbox every 10 seconds, that is annoying
