How to create a chatroom?

Go on your chatrooms page by clicking on its icon in the apps list. From there, simply click on Create New. Set a Chatroom name and an Expiration time limit (applies to the messages, not to the chatroom). You can change the visibility by clicking on the lock icon. Click on Submit when you're done.

!!! Expiration time limit: the chats (messages) that are already on the screen aren't deleted, but if one enters the room, the expired chats (messages) are deleted and won't be shown. SO THIS OPTION IS NOT TO DELETE A CHAT ROOM, JUST ITS MESSAGES.

How to chat?

Go on the chat you want to talk in. It can be on your channel, but it may be on another channel, for example if a friend told you that he/she has created a chat he/she wants you to come talking in.

Either way, you have to click on the chatroom icon in the channel apps list. Then, click on the chatroom name you want to enter.

In there, you simply write your message and click on Submit. Chat_enter
