Using Gtalk Chat

From Wiki for Khanqah

Getting Started with the Google Talk Client

1. Download the 1.5MB application. It will take a few seconds over a broadband connection or about three minutes over a typical modem. Google Talk requires Windows Vista/XP/2000 with a minimum 56k connection speed (broadband is recommended).

2. Sign in with your Gmail or Google Account username and password. If you don't have a Google Account or have not enabled your Google Account for Google Talk, sign up here.

3. If you're signing into Google Talk with a Gmail account, your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk. Your most frequently-emailed contacts are at the top of your Friends list.

4. If some people from your Friends list already have Google Talk, they will have an icon that looks like a colored ball next to their name, and you can call or IM them immediately.

5. If another Google Talk user wants to add you to their Friends list, you will see an alert at the top of your screen.

6. You can also invite any of your other friends to download Google Talk so you can talk to each other for free.

Inviting your friends

1. Mouse over a name and click on the Invite button or click Add friend to invite multiple people at once.

2. Enter an email address 'livekhanqah@gmail.com'.

3. After you've invited your friends, (invited) will appear next to your names. Once they accept your invitation, download Google Talk and sign in, they'll have a colored ball icon next to their name. And if they're online, you'll be able to talk or IM with them instantly.
