Receiving an IM
When an IM is received, either the IM window or a Call Alert pops up. (To control which window appears, see
“Preferences – Application” on page 52.)
If the IM window is already displayed with an IM session with another person, the message from the new
person appears in another tab in that window. (You can set up Bria Professional so that each person has their
own IM window; see “Preferences – Application” on page 52.)
Receiving a File as Part of an IM
The other person may be able to send you files within the IM. The file appears as a hyperlink. Click the
hyperlink to open a Browse for Folder that lets you specify where to save the file.
Sending files within an IM is only possible when using SIP accounts and when your system administrator has
configured a file transfer server.
Sending a Broadcast IM
You can send an IM to several people at one time. A broadcast IM is not a conference IM.
• With a broadcast IM, each recipient can reply to the IM, but only you will see these replies; the other
recipients will not see these replies.
• With a conference IM, all parties see everyone’s messages and the messages each party sends are seen by
everyone. See “Conference IM—Group Chat” on page 29.
1. Select the parties from the Contacts tab in one or more of the following ways:
• Select one or more contacts in the usual ways (using Shift-click or Ctrl+click).
• Select one or more groups in the usual way.
2. Right-click and choose Send Broadcast Instant Message. The Send Broadcast Instant Message window
appears.
