Chat views

Chat main page

On the chat main page you will find all chats with your chat partners. Here you can filter by chat partner/room, start a new chat (see above) or siding/showing the list of chat rooms.

Chat side pane

This pane is only for chatting with a single chat partner. You can enlarge the window by selecting the corresponding button (= switch to the chat main page) or close it.
