Other languages:

Puedes inciar una conversación con un contacto haciendo clic en el nombre. Una nueva ventana se abrirá y podrás escribir mensajes en el pequeño campo de la parte inferior, donde aparece el cursor. Cuando quieras enviar el texto, pulsa Enter o el botón Enviar. Tú y tu pareja podéis comunicaros ahora a través de Jabber.

Transfer files

To transfer files via Jabber click on Send File and select the file you want to send in the popup window. You will be notified when the transaction is complete or failed for some reason.

Warning

This may not work in some cases due to incompatible configurations of some servers

Group chat

Jabber is not only capable of communicating with one person. You can use Group Chat to do an IRC style discussion, where many people can talk with each other. To use Group Chat, you have to right-click on the Kopete systray icon, and select yourJID -> Join Groupchat..., where "yourJID" stands for your own Jabber ID. A new window appears where you can join a chatroom.

Click on Query to show the list of existing chatrooms on your Jabber server. Select one and press Enter to enter this room.

Alternatively you can type in and create your own chatroom by writing its name into the line Room. Then press Enter or click Join to join.

After you created the chatroom, you'll see a new field appearing in your Kopete window with the JID [email protected]. Treat it as a normal contact, i.e. you have to click on this JID to chat etc.

At this point you have set up a working Jabber client and are in principle able to chat with your contacts. But for a better experience of Kopete, you are able to configure the application for your best needs. A set of Useful configuration hints is the content of the next page in this tutorial.
