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. You can also invite more participants during a
group chat session.

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.

In the Contacts tab, select the
desired contacts. Contacts
must have XMPP accounts!

Control-click the last selected
contact and choose Start
Group Chat. The invitation
dialog appears.
