I cant remeber if we talked about this feature. what do you think about adding it to our stretch goals?

Private chat= two users talking privatly

Ah yeah, definitely a good feature, though should be a stretch goal I think. If two clients communicate to each other alone via WebRTC, it should be fairly straightforward to implement a feature for them to initiate chat via websockets too (down the line, perhaps the moderators popout window could include a chat box)

You already have a comms system that allows you to send a message directly from end point A to end point B. You just need a separate 'private_chat' applet that uses your comms infrastructure. Should be pretty simple with a modular design.

This is possible, and for now will be added as a future sprint goal
