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.
