 To start a chat, you must first add your contacts. To learn how, click the link in the description below. Go to the top menu and select Chat, here. Once on the chat page, you can choose one of the following options. 1. On the left menu, click on this blue icon here. 2. In the Chats tab, select the plus icon here. 3. By pressing Ctrl plus N in Windows or Command plus N in Mac. Whichever way you choose, you will see at the right side these two fields. 1. At the top, where you write the contacts name you want to start the chat with, and 2. At the bottom, where you can write your message. Let's start a chat with William. I type his name. 2. Then at the message field, let's say Hi. 3. Easy, right? Now let's talk about three useful functions. Hide a contact, star a contact, and create a folder. On the left menu, go to the Chats tab, here. Here you can see all your chats. Click on the right arrow here, and you will see this menu. Select the first option, hide this chat, and the chat will be hidden. Any time you can reopen that chat, just by typing his name in the search bar, here. Or go to the top menu, and click on the contacts option. Then click on your contacts name in the left column, here. If there is a contact you regularly chat with, select the star this contact option here. And that contact will always be visible on the left side in the starred tab, here. To create a folder, click on the right arrow and select the create a folder option. Or you can click on the create a folder tab, here. A new window is open where you can name your folder. Below, you can type or select the contacts name you want to include in your folder. Finally, click on the create a folder button. And that's it. For example, I am creating a folder named a family, and I'm including a few contacts. Once created, you will see your new folder at the top of the left column.
