Chatrooms Complete Guide

What this helps you do

Chatrooms let you talk with other WallStreet.io members in real time while you’re in your Charts Workspace. You can switch between rooms, adjust your chat settings, manage what you see from specific users, and search past messages when you’re trying to find a specific comment or topic.


Where to find Chatrooms

You can open Chatrooms in two ways:

If the widget area is closed, click the Chatroom icon on the right-side navigation bar.

If the widget area is already open (for example, Watchlist or Alerts), click Chatroom at the top of the widget panel to switch over.


Chatrooms layout

The Chatrooms widget is made up of:

The chatroom selector at the top, which shows the room you’re currently viewing.

A message feed in the middle, where posts appear in time order.

A message box at the bottom where you type your message, plus a Post button to send it.

Switch to a different chatroom

To change rooms, click the chatroom selector at the top of the widget (it shows the current room name, like “General Chat”). Then select the chatroom you want to open.
