Hello

I’m having trouble with my nakama console. In my Unity game, chat data is displayed well, but I can’t see anything in Nakama’s ‘Chat Messages’ console.

```auto
        private async UniTask CreateMatchAsync(string roomName)
        {
            try
            {
                //create match
                IMatch match = await _connection.Socket.CreateMatchAsync(roomName);
                _connection.ConnectedMatch = match;

                //join chat room
                IChannel channel = await _connection.Socket.JoinChatAsync(match.Id, ChannelType.Room, persistence: true);
                _connection.ConnectedChatChannel = channel;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ExceptionUtils.LogException("creating match", ex);
            }
        }

        public async UniTask SendMessageToAll(string message, string title)
        {
            try
            {
                string chatChannelId = _connection.ConnectedChatChannel.Id;
                string content = ChatDataJson.GetContent(message);

                await _connection.Socket.WriteChatMessageAsync(chatChannelId, content);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ExceptionUtils.LogException("sending message to all", ex);
            }
        }

```

Why might this be happening?
