CREATING A NEW CHAT ROOM

If you can’t find a chat room set up to discuss that topic you are interested in, or if you want to have a private conversation with a group of friends or family, you can create your own chat room.

To create your own chat room:

1From Web Home, select Community from the top of the screen, then press

OK or RETURN.

2Select Chat, then press OK or RETURN.

3Select Talk City, then press OK or RETURN.

4Use the scroll down button on your remote control or keyboard to move down the page until you can see the area labeled Join A Chat.

5Select Create a new chat room, then press OK or RETURN.

A panel appears asking you to type a name and topic for your new chat room.

6Type a name for the room you want to create, then press the down arrow on your remote control or keyboard and type a description of the topic you have in mind.

7If you would like the room you create to be unlisted (so that only people you inform will know about this room), select Set up as private unlisted room, then press OK or RETURN.

8Select Create room, then press OK or RETURN.

Your new chat room is created. If it is a listed room, it will be available to anyone looking for the topic you chose. If it is unlisted, you will need to give the exact name of the room to people who you invite to join you in your chat room.
