Messenger is a private communication feature within BeED Connect that allows users to chat directly with other members of the same institution network. It provides a secure and focused space for conversations that are not meant to be shared publicly.
Messenger keeps private discussions separate from Announcements and Topics, helping users communicate more efficiently without cluttering public discussion spaces.
