How to Chat in Figma
Open a Figma File – Launch any project where you and others are collaborating.
Ensure You're in the Same File – Real-time chat works only when multiple users are in the same file.
Locate Profile Icons on Top-Right – Check if collaborators are present (their avatars will show).
Click on the Avatar – You’ll see a small cursor with their name moving live on the canvas.
Use Slack or Comments – Figma doesn’t have built-in live chat, but you can:
Use the Comment (💬) tool to leave messages.
Integrate Figma with Slack to sync and chat about changes.
@Mention Collaborators in Comments – They'll get notified and can reply directly.
Use Voice/Video via FigJam or External Tools – For richer communication, try FigJam (whiteboard) or apps like Zoom.
