# WebChat

WebChat lets you send text messages or emojis between the operator and the client. Through WebChat the client can also **send** the operator **a file** from his computer or mobile device. To use the chat features, use the icons next to the message box.&#x20;

***By combining the "#" character and the template shortcut, you can simply paste the desired message directly into the WebChat**. Learn more about setting shortcuts in the* [***For administrators***](https://docs.mluvii.com/en/for-administrators) *section.*

*If necessary, the operator can expand the chat window by dragging or tapping the button on the left edge of the chat window in the middle.*
