Changes to Group Chat
Start a group chat in the same way as you did with Bria 3.5. Like IMs, you manage the group chat via the
Messages window.
When you receive a group chat invitation, it will appear in a new session in the Messages window, along
with other IMs.
You work with the group chat session in the same way as you work with a regular IM.
Some features not supported in Bria 4.0:
 You cannot add more participants by dragging contacts.
 Once you have sent the first message, you will not be able to add more participants. You can only
add more participants before that first message.
Leaving and Rejoining
The rules for leaving and rejoining a group chat have changed.
Previously, if you closed the group chat window, you left the group chat and could only contribute to the
session again if you rejoined the group chat.
Starting with Bria 4, you do not close individual windows, so you do not leave a group chat. So long as
the group chat is still “active” (black text), you can click in that session, view un-read messages and start
contributing again.
If the group chat becomes “inactive” (gray text), you can click in the session and view un-read messages,
but neither you nor the other participants can contribute again.
A group chat becomes inactive to you if you exit and restart Bria.
A group chat becomes inactive to all participants as soon as the last participant exits Bria.
