Creating a chat nickname
Before you can begin chatting, you
need to create a chat nickname,
which other people see when you
send messages to a chat room.
When you first enter a chat room, you'll be prompted to
create a nickname.

you see a page that asks you to type in a different
name or to choose a nickname from a list.
Otherwise, you see a confirmation that your
nickname has been created.

Inside a chat room
Being in a chat room is a lot
like being at a party.
There are lots of people talking. There may be a few who
are quiet. There may be several conversations going on
at the same time. Usually, conversations move as fast as
people can type.
Just like at a real party, you may want to whisper something
to somebody without everybody hearing you. MSN TV
allows you to send a personal message that won't appear
to anyone else in the chat room.
Unfortunately, sometimes there are people you just don't
want to chat with. If you choose Ignore, you won't see
the messages they send to the chat room.
To whisper to someone
1
While you're in a chat room, choose Whisper.
A list of all the people currently in the
chat room appears.
2
Choose a person to whisper to.
3
Type your message in the text box and
choose Whisper Message.
Note Although your whispered message appears in the
main conversation page, only you and the person you're
whispering to can see it.
To ignore someone
1
While you're in a chat room, choose Ignore.
A list of all the people currently in the
chat room appears.
2
Choose the box next to the nickname of the person
you want to ignore, and then choose Ignore.
You won't see the messages this person
sends to the chat room.
