Chat




Q: How can I join chat rooms like those on AOL?
A: Access the Chat Directory http://www.aol.ca/aim/chat/ on AOL.CA. These are public rooms, different from Buddy Chat rooms because they do not have the 23-person limit. (When the public room fills up, an identical room opens for the next group of chatters.)

A: Right now, AOL chat rooms are only accessible by AOL members. However, AOL members can join AIM chat rooms if they have AIM running on their computer.

Q: Why does AIM display the message, "Sorry, chat is not available at this time," when I try to enter a chat room?
A: Occasionally, our host system has a problem initializing chat rooms. Try entering a chat room again later.

Q: Why am I unable to invite my buddies to a public chat room? (Windows only)
A: Upgrade to latest version of AIM. Otherwise, direct your buddies to the Chat Directory Web site http://www.aol.ca/aim/chat/, where they can join the chat room.
