To hide a group conversation, click the More Options button. To hide a direct conversation, click the More Options button and then select Hide Conversation. Sometimes conversations become dormant and it would be beneficial to remove them from view. Also, the conversation and their name will disappear from the chat section, but you can choose to unblock them from the Google Chat Settings menu. Remember, the links or files you shared with the person before blocking them are still active. Neither person will be able to edit the messages you've exchanged previously in Google Chat. When you block someone in Google Chat, they can still see the past messages in your conversation but they won't be able to message you. Click the person's name at the top of the chat window and select Block. You can also block a person from sending you messages in a conversation. We'll talk more about configuring your notification settings in the lesson on managing your Google Chat settings later in this module. Click the Options button and then choose Turn On Notifications. To resume notifications, hover your over the conversation name in the panel to reveal the Options button. Click the Options button and then choose Turn Off Notifications. To change your notifications for new messages in a one-on-one or group conversation, hover your mouse over the conversation name in the panel to reveal the Options button. However, notifications can be turned off for a conversation. By default, you're notified about any new messages in your chat conversations. You can click Pin to keep the conversation at the top of the list of chats, which lets you return to the conversation easily.
