Step 9:   Choose Start group conversation or Create space if you want to start a group chat.
            Step 10:   You may also click on a textbox to display a list of contacts you frequently chatted with. Type the name or
                    Gmail address of the contact you want to message and select the contact once they appear.



























            Step 11:   Enter your message in the text box at the bottom of the Chat. Press enter key to send the message.
            If you see an orange bubble next to someone's name, it means that they are idle and are not active in Gmail or Google
            Chat for at least 5 minutes.



                    ETIQUETTES TO BE FOLLOWED WHILE CHATTING

            The word etiquettes means how one should behave while chatting on an online platform. The following are some of
            the chatting etiquettes:
            •  Introduce yourself before you begin with the conversation. If your chat name does not reflect your proper name,
              then begin by introducing your name.
            •  Ask the other person, if he is available and have time to chat.
            •  Keep your messages short and precise. It is a better way to communicate especially in a professional environment.
            •  Use proper punctuations to make it readable and understandable.
            •  Avoid using capital letters while chatting - it feels like shouting and is considered to be rude behaviour.
            •  Always give time to the other person to respond, do not just bombard the chat window with messages. Other people
              may be slow in typing the messages and also too many messages without a break seems more like an interrogation
              rather than a friendly conversation.
            •  Always respect the status of the other person’s message. If the status shows “Busy”, “Not Avaiable” then do not
              trouble or force your conversation by sending messages.
            •  If you wish to exit a conversation then it is always a good practice to leave the chat with a sign off message like “Bye”
              or “ Thank you”.



                    CHATTING USING YAHOO MESSENGER

            browser on a computer for those having a Yahoo email account. You can send and receive text along with GIFs, images,
