An option to hide chat during games
NateJoeNate
The frequency of people spamming chat endlessly with clearly insulting or intentionally distracting emoji's has gone up. I simply cannot focus on a round if there are frequent emojis popping up on the side of my screen, and while this is my own personal failing, such a thing shouldn't matter in a friendly game like Geoguessr. At the very least, this really shouldn't be an inescapable tactic that promotes toxicity within the player base.
Please can you give us an option to hide chat from the in-game screen?

Totally agree with you. Voted on something like this a while ago probably be announded soon because I got a message this week that something I voted on was complete.
AlbinGG from GeoGuessr:
Heyo,
You can now mute your opponent by clicking their portrait next to the health bar in the top right corner of the in game HUD. This works in both duels and team duels, in both party and competitive. The mute is stored in session storage in your browser, which means it is cleared when the GeoGuessr tab is closed, and is not persisted across devices.
Enjoy the silence!

You already have that option.
You have to be IN GAME to turn it off.
Just click on the settings wheel, and find the tab labelled "Game Chat On" and turn it off.
