4.2 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 “Group Chat (Conference IM)” on page 29.

Click to add more contacts, if desired. Shows the display names of all the selected
contacts and the individual display names of all the contacts in any selected groups.
Contacts that do not have a softphone address are not included in the list.

In the Contacts tab, select the
desired contacts. Contacts
must be online

Control-click the last selected
contact and choose Broadcast
Instant Message

The Broadcast Instant
Message dialog appears

A recipient may send you a response, which will be
displayed to you in a regular Instant Message window;
you will then be in a regular IM with that one party

Type your message and click
Send
