Other things you can do
Read the following topics to learn more about other things you can do to get the most out of your messaging experience.
- How do I take a snapshot of what is displayed on my screen?
  You can take a snapshot or screen capture of all or part of your screen and send it to your chat partners. You can also add lines or shapes to your screen capture to annotate it before you send it.
- How do I automatically change my status whenever I have a meeting scheduled?
  If you have this feature, you can simplify your life by having your status automatically change to "In a Meeting" whenever you are in a meeting that is scheduled in your HCL Notes® or Microsoft™ Outlook calendars.
- How do I customize the notifications I get for different events?
  You can choose how to be alerted for a variety of events. For example, you can be alerted by a sound when you receive an invitation or by bringing the chat window to the front of your screen when someone starts a new chat with you.
- Using the main screen
  The main screen gives you access to all of HCL Connections Chat functionality.
- How do I work with live text?
  If you have the live text feature, then telephone numbers, people's names, and any other recognized "content types" that display in chat windows and chat history are underlined and "live," just like a link on a web page. Clicking the underline displays a list of options to carry out on that phone number or contact name.
- How do I set preferences for live text?
  If live text is available to you, you can turn it off or on and, if it is on, set the preferences for which items, or "content types," available to you are recognized as live text and how they appear.
