You can then use message them using Direct Messages.
To select a member you’d like to speak to privately, go to Direct Messages and click on the speech bubbles on the right or Start a Conversation.

1:1 Space
If you set up a 1:1 Space then all engagement will happen using Direct Messages as all the content in the Hubs will be view/read only.
You can also set up small private groups of members. These can be used like breakout rooms or simply to discuss topics in small groups.
Converting a Direct Message into a Private Group
You might like to add members to your Direct Message and thereby make it a Private Group. To do that go to the Conversation settings (top right corner) and Add participants to the conversation.
