7.4 Using Kopete
It is necessary to establish a connection to the Internet to be able to chat with other
participants. When this is done, you should set your status by clicking File > Set Status
> Online. This establishes a connection between Kopete and the selected messaging
service. After the successful login, you are visible to others.
The main application windows features a list of contacts. You must have contacts to
chat with others (see
Section 7.2, "Adding Contacts"
(page 140) for more information).
When you right-click a contact marked as online, a menu opens with various options.
Send that person a message or start a chatting session. A chat allows invitation of addi-
tional participants for real-time discussion. Connection to all participants is closed when
the creator of the chat session closes it.
