What is a temp chat?

A temp chat, also known as a temporary chat room, is a real-time communication space created for focused conversations without the need for a permanent group. It is commonly used for quick discussions, event planning, file sharing, or situations where people need to connect instantly. Unlike traditional messaging apps built around permanent communities, temp chats provide a simple and private way to communicate with the right level of persistence for each conversation.

When to use a temp chat?

One-time conversations

Use a temp chat when a conversation only needs to happen once. Share information, coordinate details, or exchange files without creating a permanent communication channel.

Quick coordination

Use a temp chat for quick coordination with teammates, clients, or partners. Start a room instantly, share a link or code, and communicate without creating a permanent group.

Events and workshops

A temp chat is ideal for workshops, meetups, or online events. Participants can join with a simple code, communicate in real time, and use the room only for the duration of the event.

Temporary group conversations

Create a temp chat room for trips, plans, or casual group conversations. Bring people together quickly without setting up another permanent chat group.
