ResearchCave Chat
Keep the conversation going.
A quick message. A shared file. A call when words on a screen are not enough. ResearchCave Chat keeps the people and conversations that matter within reach.
Made for the way you use it
More than a place to type.
Some things need a message. Others need a face-to-face moment. Move naturally between the ways you want to communicate.
Keep the thread
Reply, forward, edit and search messages. Read receipts and typing indicators help you follow the conversation as it happens.
Bring everyone together
Create group conversations, manage participants and keep shared media with the discussion it belongs to.
Share what you mean
Send files, photos, videos, voice recordings and a location. Let the right format do the talking.
When a message is not enough
Put a voice to the conversation.
Start a voice or video call without leaving the conversation behind. Familiar microphone and camera controls make it easy to choose how you join the moment.
- Voice and video calling in the conversation
- Microphone and camera controls within reach
- Continue messaging around the call
Make yourself at home
Your conversations. Your view.
A clear conversation list, searchable history and light or dark themes make it easier to settle into the flow. Keep a draft, find an earlier message or return to a file someone shared.
- Search conversations and message history
- Read receipts, drafts and live updates
- Light and dark themes for everyday comfort
Part of a connected ecosystem
The conversation travels with you.
ResearchCave Chat also powers messaging inside the ResearchCave ecosystem. In Socials, the conversation can continue alongside the communities and discussions you already follow.
