# Private Message
|
|
|
|
Zulip allows users to send private messages to each other.
|
|
|
|
## There are two ways to send a Private Message:
|
|
|
|
### Way 1:
|
|
|
|
* To submit a new private message, first click on the `New Private
|
|
Message` button located at the bottom of your screen.
|
|
|
|
* The following box will be displayed
|
|

|
|
|
|
* In the **one or more people...** field, input the username or email
|
|
address of the user you want to privately message. When you begin
|
|
typing an email address or username, autocomplete suggestions will
|
|
appear.
|
|
|
|
* If you attempt to input a nonexistent username or email address, an
|
|
error message will appear.
|
|
|
|
### Way 2:
|
|
|
|
* You also can click on the **user's name** in the `USERS` panel on
|
|
the right and click on `down arrow` that gets visible when hovering
|
|
over the name and click on the option `Compose a private message to
|
|
<user's name>` and write the message in the compose box.
|
|
|
|
You can always discard your message by clicking the **x**
|
|
(<i class="icon-vector-remove"></i>) icon located at the top-right corner
|
|
of your compose box.
