Chat For Mac

The Facebook social network comes with an associated chat service that enables you to communicate with your friends and even send pictures, audio files, and other types of documents.

The Chat OS X application offers you the possibility to use the Facebook messaging service without having to clutter your web browser. The utility also provides support for desktop notifications, so you will never miss anything your friends have to say.

To begin using the Chat app, you must input your Facebook credentials and login to your account. Note that Chat offers you the possibility to keep you logged in between sessions, and you can make sure that the utility is automatically launched at startup via the Preferences window.

Chat will automatically detect previously started chats and enables you to quickly reply to your friends. Naturally, you can easily start new chats, and even create new group conversations.

Through the Chat Settings panel, you get to quickly activate or deactivate both the sound and desktop alerts. Moreover, you can open the information panel associated with each chat or group conversations and choose to mute the notifications only for that particular discussion.

Note that Chat will display the shared images, audio, or video files inline, which makes keeping track of the conversation a lot easier. What’s more, Chat provides support for the Facebook emoticon collections, which you can install with a simple mouse click.

To conclude, Chat provides a user-friendly environment where one can connect with Facebook friends and continue conversations, share files, create group discussions, and so on. Naturally, Chat does not require all the resources used by a fully featured web browser.
