I have searched high and low here and I can’t figure out if it’s just me who has this problem:
- I created 2 chat channels for private categories on my forum
- In the small chat (bottom-right) I can choose between the channels just fine
- When I open the “fullscreen” chat there is no way to get to the other channel again, I feel I’ve clicked everything
- I need to get back to non-fullscreen chat, switch there and then open it in full screen again
Is it just me, am I missing something?
This is what it looks like for me:

Ah, I’ve just spotted the channels list in the sidebar, that helps. still think it would be nice to have a switcher inside the “fullscreen” chat window though.
