How to use chat rooms in Yahoo Messenger.
This is a complete guide on how to use chat rooms in Yahoo Messenger.Apart from the steps to start a chat, this article also deals with safety measure we have to take when chatting with an unknown person.In short, this is a must read article for beginners in Yahoo chat rooms.To begin with, we must first download and install Yahoo Messenger in our system.Using this link you can download any version of Yahoo messenger.http://www.filehippo.com/download_yahoo_messenger .Before we start using the messenger, it is always recommended that you make a separate Yahoo email ID for doing chat only.There are many advantage in this practice.If we use our original Yahoo ID it will result in getting so many spam mails.So now we have the Yahoo messenger and we have a fake ID.
First run the Yahoo messenger.Sign in with your Yahoo ID and password.In the window,click on the “Messenger”.From the drop down list select “Yahoo! Chat” and in that “Join a Room”.In the new window that appears, you can see ‘Categories’ on left side and ‘Yahoo rooms’ on right side.First select a category and then a room.Note that, when we click the + sign many rooms with the same name can be seen.Double click on a room or click on that and select ‘Go to Room’.In the window give “Enter Chat”.Now the chat window appears and there we have to enter the verification code.Enter the code as it is given in the picture and submit.Now we are inside chat room!!
Once we enter chat room, we can see a two parts.In the right side, we can see a list of users.They are other people who are in the same room as yours.In the left side you can see a space for typing message and above it a chat space.In the chat space you can see messages posted by others as well as users who join the room and leaving the room.If you type in the text box and enter, then you can see that your message appears in the general chat space.This message can be seen by all the members in that chat rooms.If you have a mic, you can even talk and all the users in the room can hear you.For that hold the Talk button.If you want to use the mic continuously then just check the option ‘Hands free’ and you don’t have to stay clicked in Talk button.If someone else is using the mic you cannot use it and so it depends on availability.At this time, you can hear others talking, and if you don’t want to hear them, just check ‘Mute’.
Now its time to begin.Check out the people in the right side.If you keep the mouse pointer in the name, some more details about the user can be seen, if they have provided it.If you like somebody and wants to chat with them, just double click on that name.A new chat window for you and that person will appear.Apart from this you can also select people by clicking in the name that come in the general chat space.So now we have a new chat window to talk between only two of you.You can start by typing “asl plz”.It means “age sex location please”.If the user is interested, then they will respond and you can chat and become friends.In the meantime, other users who are interested in you, will follow the same procedure and you will get pop-up chat windows.Suppose you get nobody in the chat room.You can change the room by clicking on the ‘Chat’ icon seen in the window and you will have to select a new room from the same old window and enter a new room.Here note that when you leave a room, you email ID will be left in the previous room with a message that you left.If somebody click on that also, they can chat with you.So my point is, it is not necessary that chat request must come only from the present room.It can be initiated by people in the rooms you visited.So now we are chatting!!!
Important TIPS
*Never give any personal information in chat rooms.Starting with the fake ID, it always good if you don’t provide any important personal information.
*Never click on any link provided by others because all of them are unknown person and the link may contain virus or other inappropriate content.
*Its always better to avoid Web cams in such chats though you may use microphone.
*In the general chat window many links and other inappropriate words can be seen.Its better to avoid them completely.
*Usually every chat room will have group of user with names of American girls and giving full details like, their home address, age etc..Without doubt understand that they are fake.If you chat with them, they will all speak the same words, of course sex related and later give links to web cams and all.If you click that link, God only knows where you are gonna end.
*Make an ID which is good to approach.One funny thing is that if you use an ID with a girl name, many chat windows will pop-up all of a sudden!.My friends use to say this and she could not chat with her name as ID, because that much pop-up chat window will come at a time.
*You can expect any type of response from chat.Just stay safe and good.
Other than chatting,you can do many things using messenger.For example you can use it to play games,share photos etc..But its always safe to restrict our self to chat only.From my experience I can say that very rarely only you can get good friends.Never trust anybody and understand that these are all unknown people.So stay on safe side and be cautious.Just chat and don’t think on making friends.The best and safe usage of Yahoo chat is for discussion.Its always better not to make relations from chat rooms but maybe if you are lucky, you make earn good friends from such chats also.So this is what you must understand basically about chat rooms.If are not much bothered about safety measure or restriction on making friends, you can go up to any extent.You can even use web cam, share photos and make friends with everyone.It depends upon the individuals.But for a beginner its always good to follow these tips.
So I hope you have a wonderful chat experience.
