4.3 Group Chat (Conference IM)
Group chat allows you to exchange instant messages with a group of people in the same session.
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.
Starting a Group Chat
In the Contacts tab, select the
desired contacts. Contacts
must have XMPP accounts,
and must be online.
Control-click the last selected
contact and choose Start
Group Chat. The New Group
Chat thread opens.
Type an invitation message
and click Send.
Once a chat is started (first
message has been sent), you
cannot add or remove
participants.
