Like QQ, MSN can also play group chat

Now the competition in the IM market is getting more and more fierce. In order to win more users, all IM softwares strive to retain their own characteristics while trying to absorb their opponents. The advantages. As one of the leading software in IM software, MSN Messenger has no basic function of other IM software - group chat. This makes many users feel inconvenient, although it can also implement group chat by establishing a temporary session, but it is very troublesome to manually add chat members each time. Moreover, MSN Messenger has a lot of business users, they all use a fixed contact partner, such a chat method will waste a lot of work time. When I recently searched the Internet, I saw a MSNQUN development team developed a MSNQUN group chat plug-in for Messneger, so that MSN can also implement group chat function.

Software Usage

After testing by the author, if you have installed the MSN SHELL plugin and need to use the MSN function, (ie open multiple Messengers at the same time) then don't use the MSN group plugin. Otherwise, an error will be reported when opening an account. (If you install MSN SHELL but don't open an account, you can use it normally.) After installing the MSN group plugin, click the MSN group software icon, you will find an MSN group icon in the task bar in the lower right corner. (Figure 1) Next to the MSN panel, there will now be the MSN Group Chat panel. On the MSN main panel, there is an icon for displaying and hiding the group button. Click to implement the display and hide functions. And even if your MSN is set to "show as offline", you can still community, which should be a very popular feature.

can now start applying for the MSN group, MSN group development team August 12 began offering a test version of Download and issue the first batch of 4000 Msn group main test accounts. Each account can create 2 groups for free. Users who have not yet applied for the status of the group can use [email protected] -- [email protected] The msn account will be added to your contact list, and the software development team will promptly notify you of the group owner's account release information. Each user can join 8 groups, and each group of Msn can add up to 30 group members (the number seems to be slightly less). Only users who have installed MSN group software can create or join group chat.

Click “MSN Group—>Create Group” to apply. First fill in the group announcement and group introduction, then add group chat users. After creating a group, you will get a MSN group number. Other users know that your group number can also join the group you created. However, the MSN group has not yet joined the authentication function. As long as the group number is known, it can be added, and the group owner cannot cancel the user after joining.

The group chat interface is similar to the simplified version of a separate MSN chat. It can only set fonts, no emoticons and more. On the right side you can see the group profile and participating users. Blue means online users, gray is not online. The MSN group supports the offline message function, and can also save the chat history. The viewing method is the same as that of QQ, which is very convenient, and this is also relatively intimate.

Comments
MSN group provides a plug-in for the MSN group chat feature that allows MSN group chat a lot of convenience, especially when many business users, can save a lot of time and Support offline messages, indirectly also expand the MSN function, you can send messages to others in the group at any time in the future. However, it is still a test version, it can only support text chat, and there is no small gap between the QQ group function. I hope that the software authors can make persistent efforts and add more functions, so that the majority of MSN users can talk more happier and more convenient.
