Chat room?

Another site I was moderator of has a Java chat room where members can just join and chat. I was wondering why we don't have something like that here? My other site has about 220,000 members, I don't see why this site can't have one. It would be really helpful to a lot of members who can get help in real time. I know people respond to threads here nearly instantly sometimes, but its still nice to be connected with a chat room filled with people discussing a variety of things. I have to imagine this has been suggested before, so I assume it was thought about and denied already in the past...but I wonder why? It seems like such a great idea, and this is the right kind of site to make good use of a chat room.

 

Removing the "rooms" feature

The alternative way to get to the content, is to use the apps already on your phone:

• Photos – You'll find your photos and videos in the OneDrive app in a folder with same name as the room.
  
• Calendar – Go to the Calendar app to see your room calendar.
• Notes – Your room notes are in the OneNote app, in a notebook with the same name as the room.

In the post above, Julie suggests an alternative to the group chat via the Skype app.

Hope that helps,

Greg

 

Chat room?

Like right now were having a nice conversation in General Discussion, it would be nice if we could all sit in a chat room and just type to each other rather than make post after post. Or when I'm helping someone with an issue, its nice to have the ability to talk in a chat rather than make post after post. I realize posting is nice, because when other people have issues they can read about it too. But having a chat isn't going to take away from the benefits of posting. Its not like the tens of thousands of members here are gonna pack a chat room and stop making threads and helping each other.
