An Easy Guide to Creating Your Own Google Chat Room for Group Chats
Add Party Chat to Google Talk
As an IM client, Google Talk is as simple as they come. So simple, in fact, it does not contain a chat room or group chat feature like many other clients. So, a third-party developer got wise and helped launch PartyChat, which allows Google Talk users to form their own private chat rooms. The end result is an easy-to-use chat experience on Google Talk!
Launching a PartyChat Chat Room. The first step in forming your own chat room is to add PartyChat to your contacts list.
Click the “+Add” button on the bottom, left-hand corner of the Google Talk window to begin.
Enter Party Chat to Contacts
Next, add the following contact to your Google Talk contact list: partychat#@gmail.com. Replace the “#” sign with any number 0-9. Then, click “Next>>” to continue.
Party Chat Confirmation
Once you have successfully added PartyChat to your contact list, a confirmation message will appear in the window. Click “Finish” to continue.
Launching Party Chat in Google Talk
Within a few seconds, PartyChat will appear on your Google Talk contact list. Double-click PartyChat to launch a new IM with the service.
Creating Your Own Party Chat Room
To launch a chat room, enter the following command into the IM text field as you would when sending any regular IM: /make ChatTitle OptionalPassword
In your chat room title and password, please remember not to use spaces. Capitalization is acceptable, as are numerals. Passwords are case-sensitive, so enter the optional password exactly as you would like it to by typed for entry into the chat room.
Next, type the following command to learn more about user controls for your chat room: /commands
This will launch a list of options inside the chat room, which will appear only to the user who entered this command. For a complete list of commands, see our handy PartyChat Commands Guide.
To invite users to your chat room on Google Chat, have them follow steps 1-4 from this guide. Next, they must enter the following to join your Party Chat, replacing "GroupName" and "OptionalPassword" with your chat room name and any password used: /join GroupName OptionalPassword
