  • 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.
Additional chat features can be enabled: 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.
