How to configure Company Chat?

Company Chat is a functionality designed for companies with Teams enabled, enabling direct communication between the company and event participants via the Grip Networking App. These conversations are gathered in a shared inbox that any company representative can access and reply to. When a representative responds, it appears as if the company is the one replying. Users can send instant messages to the company through the Company Profile.
