Group Chat (Conference IM) (MAC)

Group chat allows you to exchange instant messages with a group of coworkers in the same session.

There is no limit to the number of participants in a group chat session.

Starting a Group Chat

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

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

3.    Type a message and click the Send icon. Once a chat is started (first message has been sent), you cannot add or remove participants.

You can also create a Group Chat after selecting the first participant or from an existing IM thread by clicking on the Add to Chat Icon, and add in the additional contacts.

Leaving a Group Chat

Unregistering your XMPP account or exiting UniVoIP App lets you leave all the active group chat sessions. The session continues with the remaining participants. Once you leave a group chat, you will not be able to rejoin the session. The thread in the Messages window becomes inactive (grayed out); you can read chat history, but cannot participate or download unread messages.

Deleting a group chat session on the Messages window also lets you leave the session, but you will lose chat history.
