Mentions are sent with a chat room selected and a user in the room selected. Who you have mentioned will be shared within the room.
- Only the user specified in the mentions will be shown the popup notification at all times, while other users will only be shown it for 5 seconds.

- For rooms created before v4.00.70, it is recommended to set the administrator manually
