Sending Instant Messages

You can send two types of instant messages with Sametime Connect:

Chats: Interactive conversations. Use chat if you need to ask a question or start a discussion.

Announcements: One-way communications that usually do not require a response. Use an announcement if you need to quickly communicate information to people without generating a discussion. For example, you might want to send an announcement to remind people that a meeting will start in 5 minutes.
