All I can say is that I use Zoom for my Bible study, and we chat.

Subject: Re: when on a zoom call, can voiceover users use the chat within the 
zoom app?

I agree as one who is totally blind that this is impossible. If the chat 
function is being used whilst voiceover is on hearing who is entering the room 
or leaving it, hearing notes being passed between people within the room all 
get in the way of me hearing the speaker and I've left meetings because of 
this. So, in small meetings I've managed to get others to abandon the use of 
the chat function because of the accessibility issue for me and potentially 
others. I'd also be fascinated to learn how others are able to do this. I can 
only presume those who can have very good hearing and can distinguish between 
what's being said in the background as someone else is speaking.
