2. Click on it, and a list of the current online users will show:

3. Click on any of these people, and you will be able to chat with them, in live time, like you would on Facebook, googlechat, or any other chat function on other platforms that you may be familiar with.

4. Like in other chat programs, you can set your chat status by clicking on the Configuration button . Click on the dropdown menu, and select your desired chat state, as shown below.
