Broadcast Announcements

You can use a broadcast announcement to send a message to many contacts at once. The message will appear in the myChat windows of your online contacts. This is useful if there is a safety concern in your building, for example.

To send a broadcast announcement, click the Actions menu, and select Broadcast Message. You will see the Broadcast Message dialog box.
