Good morning,

Generally speaking, I would use "at the same time".
It's up to you to see which formula is better suited to the context.

Hi,
'At the same time' is the usual expression.(en même temps, au même temps) 'In the same time' means in the same LENGTH OF time.

hello
It’s common to use this expression as conjunction to link two actions happening simultaneously:” en même temps”. The whole expression is considered as adverb. And you could add to it “as” or “that” at the end to construe subordinated relative sentence.
There is a fundamental difference between in and at. “in” is usually attributed to the inside of space whereas “at” to the position of space or time.
For example, you live in Taroudant, the book is in the drawer, and something is in something. Here there is no motion. But when we are on motion, we add “to” to in to say “into”, which means nearly the same as “in”. Examples: I get into the bus, into the room, I walk or I move then I get into the space. But “at” is attributed to the position. For example, we say at school, at nine o’clock, at this time, at this level, at this position.
thanks.

"Thank you " could be sufficient. You don’t need this emoticon head. By dint of gesturing forward with his hat all time, he must be tired.
