How to Chat on UpWork

UpWork is a great platform for finding new freelance work. However, if you want to chat with potential clients, you’ll need to get used to the chat interface. Here’s how to chat on UpWork:

1. Open the chat window and type a message.

2. To start a conversation, type @ followed by the username of the person you want to talk to.

3. To respond to a message, type @ followed by the username of the person who sent the message, and then type your response.

4. To end the conversation, type @ followed by the username of the person you’re talking to, and then type goodbye.

5. If you want to mute a conversation, type @ followed by the username of the person you’re talking to, and then type mute.

6. If you want to stop chatting altogether, type @ followed by the username of the person you’re talking to, and then type end.

7. If you want to see a list of all the messages you’ve sent or received in a conversation, type @ followed by the username of the person you’re talking to, and then type messages.

8. To close the chat window, type @ followed by the username of the person you’re talking to, and then type goodbye.

9. To return to the main UpWork page, type end.

PRO TIP: This question is a bit misleading – while you can chat with clients and contractors on Upwork, there is no dedicated chat function on the site. If you’re looking to chat with someone on Upwork, you’ll need to use a third-party chat program like Skype or Google Hangouts.
