Google Chat

Welcome! In this community, you can find answers to your questions about Google Chat in Gmail, iGoogle, orkut and video chat. While you're here, build karma by answering the questions of others. Google employees (noted with 'Google Employee' beneath their posting name) will be popping in to help answer questions and post announcements. And when you run into a "Top Contributor", be sure to say "Thank you!" The "Top Contributor" designation is reserved for our most devoted and helpful community volunteers.

Before you post a new question, make sure you've searched for the answer to your question first, both in the Google Chat Help Center and existing threads in this forum--using the search box at the top of this page. If you still haven't found your answer and need help, take a look at our posting guidelines and then you're ready to post! Make sure to include specific descriptions of the issue you are reporting and any steps you've taken.

If your question is regarding a technical issue, please check out the following TIPS before posting your question/issue:

- Did you try another browser? Did you clear browser cache & cookies? Did you try disabling all browser extensions/add-ons?

- Did you try manually updating the plugin?

- Do you meet the minimum requirements?

- Did you check out our Known Issues page?

Gmail users: If your question is not specifically about Google Chat, please post it in the Gmail Help Forum instead.

We've updated our forum structure to better monitor discussions and questions. There are three required categories for you to choose from before posting, and we ask that you go ahead and choose to the best of your ability.
