Helpful Chat Scripts Every Tech Host Should Have Ready

Hosting a virtual session means wearing many hats—and sometimes, the best tech hosting happens quietly behind the scenes. One of the most effective tools in your toolkit? The Zoom chat window!

Whether you’re welcoming participants, sharing helpful reminders, or guiding folks through breaks and tech issues, having pre-written chat scripts ready to copy and paste can make your job smoother and more professional.

👉 Common Chat Scripts for Tech Hosts (PDF)

This handy resource includes sample chat messages for:

• Welcoming participants in the waiting room
• Sharing supply lists and resources
• Break-time reminders
• and more!

You can take what's useful and leave the rest. Customize each script to fit your session and presenter—all designed to help you stay calm, clear, and connected.

I'd love to know which scripts resonate with you and how you store them:

• Google or Word doc
• Notion, Evernote or Clickup
• Notes or Notepad

Whatever your approach, it would be great to hear from you and learn from others in the next Sandbox Session—just a small, but important part of Tech Host Academy.

Want to take your tech hosting skills to the next level?

I’ve created Tech Host Academy, an on-demand course full of practical video lessons, sample scripts, behind-the-scenes tips, and best practices.

The course includes a playbook, 10 modules to give you a strong foundation for tech hosting, bonus sessions, and access to Sandbox sessions.

One last tip:

Having these chat scripts ready in a text document or a sticky note app on your desktop makes it easy to paste them right into the chat window. That way, you can stay present for your presenter and your participants — and look like a pro doing it.
