For photo studios
Your crew and your clients, in the right rooms.
Give your photographers, editors and assistants one place to work, and let clients into only the channels you choose, for as long as you choose.
For the team
One place for the whole crew.
Fewer texts, fewer lost files, and a clear record of who said what.
A channel for each job
Make a channel per shoot, event or client. Archive it when the job is done, and nothing is lost.
Threads on every question
Ask which lens, which room, which time. Replies stay under the question so the channel stays readable.
On location too
Use CM Chat in a phone browser or with the Android app, with notifications that carry no message text.
Share files in context
Attach call sheets, shot lists and previews right in the conversation. The default limit is 50 MB, and admins can raise it to 100 MB.
Find it later
Search every conversation you can read for a name or a date.
Roles that fit
Owners, admins and members, so assistants do not see what only the studio owner should.
CM Chat is for conversation and working files. Large full-resolution originals still belong in your gallery or delivery tool.
For your clients
Clients as guests, with an end date.
No more mixing client talk into your team chat, or leaving old clients with open access.
- Only the channels you add. A guest cannot see other channels, browse the channel list or see the whole people list.
- Access that ends. Set the day it stops, from an hour to a year away. Admins can change it later.
- Shorter sessions. Guests are signed out sooner than members by default.
- Links that expire. File downloads use short-lived links, and downloads are recorded in the admin activity log.
- Easy to join. A guest accepts an invitation and signs in with an emailed code or a passkey.
