Vivox provides a text chat service:
  • Text chat - channel-based and directed text chat.
    • Chat messages can contain any language or content up to service-defined size and rate limits.
    • Chat messages are transported over TLS. No chat messages are saved or archived.
The following additional features can be enabled:
  • Adaptive Chat filter
  • Chat history
  • Text evidence management
  • Edit and delete messages
  • Direct messaging
  • Offline direct messages
  • Anti-flooding
  • Large text channel support
  • Retrieve conversations list
  • Set Chat Markers
The server can customize a maximum byte count for text messages in its pre-login configuration. By default, the maximum is 320 bytes with UTF-8 encoding. A text message that exceeds the maximum length in bytes is rejected with a 
VxErrorMessageTextTooLong
error.
Text chat requires a Unicode-supported system to work properly. The Unity Editor has full Unicode support in versions 2017.1 and later.
