Interoffice Chat
Chat is instant messaging between you and your coworkers. You can chat one on one, or you can participate in a group chat where there are three or more coworkers involved.
There are two general ways to start a chat with a coworker:
- Hovering over a contact's Image Circle and clicking on the Chat Icon.
