The Chat is a handy tool used for text based conversations.
Write what you would like to say to the whole group and press <enter> or
press the Send button. The Chat
module is useful when you do not want to use audio, during
a presentation or lecture for instance. It is also useful
for
getting people's attention.
 Use
the Chat to moderate large meetings.

You will find the Chat tool in the lower left
corner in the Flexible interface.
Your own messages are displayed with your
member name in red
while messages you receive are in blue.
A time stamp is displayed before the name.
The Chat can also show event
messages when someone joins or leaves the session

You can add "smileys" to show what mood you
are in as well as send web addresses (URL's) directly
linked to the Viewer.
The link content can also be copied for usage in other
applications by middle clicking the link.

Smileys can be used in public
and private chat messages.
For example, to make the "happy
smiley" just type a colon, a hyphen and a right
parenthesis :-)
Or just a colon and a right parenthesis :)

Clear the Chat area using Clear Messages
on the Edit menu.
Note that you can move the boundary between
the Participants list and the Chat with
your mouse:
The same applies for the boundary between the
Whiteboard and the Participants/Video modules.
