Difficulty with Blazor Server chat app

Hi, I'm trying to build a straightforward group chat application with Entity Framework and Blazor Server, but I'm totally new to the latter and struggling to make it do what I want.

I currently have the EF models set up, and a set of components including a 'ChatLog' for displaying messages, and a 'InputForm' for users to create new messages. The 'InputForm' can register a sent message and save it in the database, which will appear in the 'ChatLog' when the page is refreshed.

But I'm clueless on how to make the 'ChatLog' update automatically with sent messages, and/or how I would use a SignalR Hub to make all other connected users load the new chat messages too. Could someone point me in the right direction?
