4.3 Group Chat (Conference IM)
Group chat allows you to exchange instant messages with a group of people in the same session. All people
must have XMPP accounts configured in order to participate in group chat.
Group chat differs from a broadcast IM in that all parties see everyone’s messages, and the messages each party
sends are seen by everyone else. In a broadcast IM, each recipient can reply to the IM, but only the person who
sent the broadcast IM will see these replies; the other recipients will not see these replies.
There is no limit to the number of participants in a group chat. You can also invite more participants during a
group chat session.
1. In the Contacts tab, select the desired contacts. Contacts must be online.
2. Control-click the last selected contact and choose Start Group Chat. The invitation dialog appears.
3. Change the message, if desired, and click Invite. The Group Chat window appears.
Leaving a Group Chat
To leave group chat, close the group chat window.
If you have started the group chat and you leave the session, the session continues with the remaining
participants.
