VirtualPREX How To...
Talking (through text chat)
To talk to anyone that
is nearby, talk in the Local Chat window (see right). Just click on the
Chat button on the bottom of the screen. The arrow to the right of the
chat window enables the window to be open so that you can see more of
the conversation.
To
talk in Group Chat (see right) – right mouse click on yourself. Choose
“My Groups” and then click on the group you want to talk to (see below,
left, a list of sample groups - these are VirtualPREX groups). Then
choose Group Chat. You will then have another window open in which you
can liaise and interact with other members of your group (see below,
right). When using Group Chat, anyone that is not a member cannot hear
what you are saying, even though they may be next to you. Below is an example of the Group Chat window. Click in the white area to say something via text.
