Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides real-time text chat inside a meeting, with a chat panel in the meeting interface, message sending, and the ability to reopen the panel to review chat history.	Teams meeting chat supports viewing and sending messages before, during, and after meetings, with chat available in meeting controls.	Google Meet supports in-meeting chat, and continuous meeting chat can extend before and after meetings for eligible Google Workspace editions and settings.	Notion mainly provides page comments, @mentions, and a comments pane for asynchronous discussion rather than live in-meeting chat.	Adobe Acrobat mainly provides comments and review workflows for shared PDFs rather than live in-meeting chat.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The chat entry is directly available on the bottom meeting toolbar for quick in-meeting communication. Distinct: You can close the side panel and reopen it later to continue reviewing message history while keeping more room for the main meeting view.	Compared with WPS: Teams covers a broader chat timeline across before, during, and after the meeting.	Compared with WPS: Google Meet can connect meeting chat more closely with Google Chat, but some behavior depends on edition, host controls, and participant status.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with document discussion and asynchronous collaboration, not the same in-meeting chat workflow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better aligned with PDF review and commenting, not the same meeting chat panel workflow.

Overall Conclusion

If your main goal is to send short text updates during a meeting, WPS Meeting Messages offers a direct and simple in-meeting chat entry. Compared with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, WPS focuses on the live meeting chat experience, while Notion and Adobe are better suited to asynchronous comments or document review workflows.
