Actor For Mac

Actor is an instant messaging solution that uses your internet connection to send text or voice messages, or place calls, via mobile or desktop clients, or through a web console.

Actor is based on an Open Technology and comes with desktop clients for the major platforms (OS X, Linux, and Windows), but also provides mobile companion apps for iOS and Android.

To commence using the Actor messaging system, you must register using an active phone number: you will receive the confirmation code by text. Note that you must use the country code when providing the phone number.

Take into account that Actor is based on an Open Technology, so you can also choose to host your own Actor server. As a result, Actor is also great as a team communication solution for enterprises.

Right off the bat, you must create contact groups and invite users to join them: this way you can keep in touch and receive feedback from multiple users at the same time.

Naturally, you can also accept invitations, and the new entry will be automatically included in your groups list.

Within the Actor user interface you get to send text or voice messages, share images or attach other types of files, use emoticons in your messages, or place calls.

Actor comes with hotkeys for sending messages or jumping to a new line, features audio and visual notifications, and can display message previews in the alerts.

To sum up, Actor is an alternative instant messaging solution that offers you the possibility to communicate with groups of people in a streamlined manner.

The project packs elementary chat capabilities and allows you to register for an account using your phone number. You can also try to host your own server if you plan to use the service at enterprise level.
