Groups

You can create your own private groups for an instant messaging conversation, or use the public groups provided by the service provider. The private groups exist only during an instant messaging conversation, and the groups are saved on the server of the service provider. If the server you are logged into does not support group services, all group-related menus are dimmed.

Public

You can bookmark public groups that your service provider may maintain. Connect to the instant messaging service, and select Groups > Public groups. Scroll to a group with which you want to chat, and select Join. If you are not in the group, enter your screen name as your nickname for the group. To delete a group from your group list, select Options > Delete group.

To search for a group, select Groups > Public groups > Search groups. You can search for a group by a member in the group, by group name, topic, or ID.

Private

Connect to the instant messaging service, and select Groups > Create group. Enter the name for the group and the screen name that you want to use. Mark the private group members in the contacts list, and write an invitation.
