    You turn chat off completely by right clicking the chat tab to open its options and unchecking everything.

    @Zama666 I'm going to presume you using accessibility mode & asking how to switch back to the PC chat UI? I checked before & I don't think there's a way to switch the chat UI back as the usual PC one when that mode is activated. (Personally, I never liked that console UI.)

    Main is Blue-Thuxis, a Argonian stamSorc, whose also is a werewolf! 2nd main, Cobalt-Thuxis, a Argonian stamArc, an identical twin sister to Blue-Thuxis, even is a werewolf as well! some alts:
    Nirn-Scale Rajthux (Argonian, Templar), Ros-Ei Nature-Thuxis (Argonian, Warden), Crimson-Thuxis (Argonian, DK), Bone-Thuxis Tharn (Argonian, Necro) Why Bone-Thuxis has Tharn as a last name:
    The siblings were separated at a young age due to a Dres slaver raid, Blue, Cobalt, Ros-Ei & their mother were able to escape, Crimson & Bone weren't that lucky. Crimson was later "rescued" by some Orcs that later ambushed the House Dres Dunmers, unfortunately one Dunmer remained & sadly successfully brought the young Bone-Thuxis to the Dres plantation. Later an Imperial, a Tharn, bought Bone at a auction & later told he was free, the young Argonian sadly had no idea where to go & doesn't know if his family was still alive, so the Tharn adopted him into House Tharn. This family of Argonians finally reunited years later.

    I'm going on a limb & presume they're using accessibility mode & asking how to keep the PC chat UI instead? For in that mode uses the chat UI from consoles instead the PC one.

    If that is the case, I don't think it's possible to just change one part of the UI. Not sure if there is an addon that would do it, though.

    Not exactly.

    The second pic has a couple of additional newer lines above the message shown in the first pic that didn't come from Zone chat:
    "You earned 1820 experience points." and another unreadable one above that.

    To the OP: Zone chat can be turned off by going to chat options and unchecking the 'Zone' box.

      It looks like they want to get rid of the guild recruitment spam while keeping normal chat.
      Legends never die
      They're written down in eternity
      But you'll never see the price it costs
      The scars collected all their lives
      When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
      Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
      Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
      Legends never die

      They want to get rid of the guild ad spam, but not the other zone chat messages.

      Greetings,

      After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      @SilverBride Sorry for not being clear.

      The chat I want to keep is on the bottom left of my screen and not a bad size.

      The chat I don't want is in the middle of my right side of the screen and too big.

      *** Please note, I am not complaining about the messages (ie guild recruitment) it is about screen real estate. No offense intended to the originator of the posting text...sorry I should have scrubbed it better

      @Grizzbeorn Thanks for posting and providing help!

      I want to keep the chat while in Cyrodiil...it is the size of the chat in the first image I want to remove but not the smaller chat (that I want to keep).

      Without it, I always go to the wrong spot. I am the leader in 0 AP....

      Thank you for clarifying! As others have mentioned it's probably from using the accessibility mode.

      This information posted by @WiseSky may help you find a solution:

      Seems my presumption is right earlier, @Zama666 if there's no addon from the thread what WiseSky posted, you may unfortunately need to deactivate accessibility mode if you want the left chat UI. I don't know why ZOS thought it was a good idea adding the console chat UI in PC/Steam accessibility mode or not a built-in toggle. Anyways, hope there a addon out there for ya.

      You can change the size of the stock chat box, and make the font larger or smaller. My chat boxes are between 1/16 and 1/32 of the screen. I also have the box placed in the lower left hand corner next to my Mini Map. It is a bit fiddly to do this, but you click on the edges and drag.

      You can also change the opacity of the window in Settings. There are addons that offer more control over chat too. Like hiding it all together when nothing is being said.
      Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

      FCO CHAT TAB BRAIN
      • Annoying chat notifications can be deleted or directed to chat window, chat window would stay minimized when changing zones or reloading the UI and many more settings. Makes the Chat Background fade instantly. Also lets your customize your chat to be functional, I made it one Tab for each category: Zone = Z, Say = S , Whisper = W, Group = G, Initials of Each Guild, "~" is empty for full immersion with no chat box or text showing when on it.

      SETTINGS -> SOCIAL -> CHAT SETTINGS -> MINIMUM TRANSPARENCY
      • Controls when the Background of the Chat will disappear. If you want to have an UI free screen without minimizing the chat and seeing that Triangle, Create a new chat tab with the + Icon, Un-check all options and name it. Then you can play with that chat window open and the background of the chat will fade according to the settings you set in your transparency timings setting options .
