Chatter

Introduction


Chatter is a way of holding real-time conversations with other members of your church or ministry.  This document explains how to use chatter and create chatter zones for groups in your church.


Creating a Chatter Zone


Every chatter “zone” belongs in one of the groups of your church (in much the same way as a forum); while you will probably have a general “church chat” zone in which anyone can participate, you may also have some chatter zones dedicated to specific groups such as youth, students or the football team.  Access to these zones may be restricted to members of the group to provide a private area for discussion.

 

In order to create a chatter zone you will need the forums and chatter permission for your group.
