Public Instant messaging
Instant messaging is an online conversation among users who are currently connected to a FirstClass server. FirstClass supports two types of instant messaging: private instant messaging sessions, initiated by users; and public instant messaging sessions, set up and maintained by the administrator. For information on private instant messaging sessions, see our client and web help. Once the public instant messaging session is created, it works just like a private instant messaging session.
Public instant messaging set up and maintained by the administrator or those who have the "Create public chat" privilege.
Public instant messaging usually pertain to a specific topic. You might want to add public instant messaging for several topics. To organize the instant messaging, create an instant messaging folder inside the General Conferences folder.
To enter a public instant messaging session, double-click the associated icon. In FirstClass, each public instant messaging has an icon that looks like this:
A red balloon beside the public instant messaging icon indicates that one or more people are currently participating in the instant messaging session.
 A participant in a public instant messaging session can invite any other user to join the instant messaging session, the same way as in a private instant messaging session. The invited party does not need to have access to the conference where the public instant messaging is located to accept a instant messaging invitation, but this person does need the "Join public chat" privilege.
