A chat is an online conversation among users who are currently logged into FirstClass. Chats are great for times when you need a quick answer, or when your telephone is already in use.

Participate in a private chat

You can invite someone to chat by choosing Collaborate > Private Chat. Click Invite and choose a name from the list.

Hint You can decide to turn off the ability of others to invite you to a chat by choosing Edit > Preferences > Messaging tab > Chat tab.

If you prevent users from inviting you to chat, your name appears in italics in the Directory. This does not prevent you from chatting others.
