Users and channels
There are two types of users in text chat:
 |
— administrators who enter the chat on the Viewer side. Administrators can initiate a chat session. |
 |
— regular users who enter the chat on the Host side. |
Channels are chat sessions with individual users. There is a special channel called #General — messages sent in this channel are visible to all users:
To start a chat session with an individual user, double-click the user's name in the list. A new tab with individual chat session will open:

Sending images and files
You can send images and files to other participants:
- Click Insert image or Insert file on the toolbar in the text chat window:
- Select the file on your local disc and click Send:
- The file will appear in the chat for the recipients to download.
Important!
