    I think the actual lobby (where you get the list of room names) does not allow you to send events to other players. You could put everyone in a actual game room and let them chat there.
    In that case, keep in mind that any sent message goes to a lot of recipients and this could overload clients, if done without care.

    Photon Unity Networking is likely not the best base framework to approach this, cause it is very "high level" and takes care of a lot of stuff for you, which means it will send more than absolutely necessary for a simple chat message.
    You could take a look at our regular Unity Photon SDK. The API in there is more "direct" and is better suited to handle "masses" of players.
