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 two or more contacts.
2.
Control-click and choose Broadcast Instant Message. The Broadcast Instant Message window appears.
3.
Type the message. Include emoticons and formatting, as desired.
4.
Press Send or Enter. The IM is sent.
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.
