Click on a name to open a chat window. You can have as many chat windows open as you like at one time. Type into the box to send an IM.

CometChat Desktop Messenger can be minimized to system tray so it sits there unobtrusively while you do other work. You will receive sound and visual notification when a new message arrives.

The icon will be customized for your site.
