Get someone’s attention by @mentioning them.
- Type @ before the person’s name and matching names will display as you type.
- Select the person you want from the list and the name will turn blue in your text box.
Note: You can @mention multiple people simultaneously.
- You can also mention @all or @online in chats with less than 30 members.
When you send your message, the person you @mention will receive a red alert in their notifications. Likewise, if someone @mentions you, it appears in your notifications in red too.
Your mentions appear in highlighted red to help you identify where you are tagged in a message.
- Click an @mention badge sent in a chat to open the chat with this person.
- If you are not yet connected with this person, you can send them a connection request.
If you are mentioned in a public room where you are not a member, you will receive the notification but you will not be able to see the message unless you join the room.
If you are mentioned in a private room where you are not a member, you will not receive any notification.
