# Group chats

The chat view is a messenger that lets the group members communicate with each other. It displays the form submissions as [<mark style="color:purple;">**cards**</mark>](/form-builder/creating-forms/additional-form-settings/set-form-card-layout.md) where users can provide their comments accordingly. It offers additional features like conducting polls and broadcasting messages.&#x20;
