Instant messaging

Instant messaging (text chat) can be public and private. You can use it to share text messages, links and comments with all participants of a conference or chat with a particular person in private.

Text chat is available all the time and you don’t have to be in a conference to use it. You can open it whenever you want and start exchanging messages with a person you want to talk to anytime.

How it works

Chat work is pretty simple, it sends your message to a particular user or to every participant of a group video conference if they are accessible.

If the message can't be delivered it gets stored and will be delivered once the user sign in again.

Opening a chat

Chat window can be started from the address book window (using right-click menu of specific user).

Or by pressing the Chat icon on the main screen.

Sending a message

To start a conversation you have to open a chat tab of the user you want to chat with and enter your message into text area and then press "Enter" or click on "Send" button.

Your message will be delivered immediately. A person you have sent the message to will see a pop-up notification in the corner of his/her window.

During a multipoint video conference you can broadcast your message to every participant by using a "Common" chat tab. All messages in this tab are visible to every participant of the conference.
