Chatting

This user guide helps you to use the chat feature in the OpenScape Web Client.

 Note

All chat messages are automatically deleted after 14 days and cannot be restored. Save chat messages that you still need outside the OpenScape Web Client in due time.

In the OpenScape Web Client you can chat with a single contact or with a group of contacts. All chat messages are processed on servers of the University of Vienna and automatically deleted after 14 days.

To start a chat, move the mouse pointer in your contact list to the contact you want to chat with.

Click on the Communication Options icon and select Chat.
