MyChat 6.2 — sending files into conferences


1. Insert files into conferences and private conversations


Previously, it was possible to transfer the file directly only (from person to person, in private conversations).

Now you can send any document into a conference:

Inserting a file into a conference

Files are stored on the server, messages synchronize automatically. You can see messages from other people after being offline for a while.

Bonuses:

  1. A file uploads only once, there are no copies in order to save disk space on the server.
  2. If a file that you send was sent already by someone, it sends instantly. It does not matter if it is a hundred of kilobytes or 100 MB.
  3. Files is always available from your corporate server even if you connect to the chat from different places.

2. MyChat Client Help update


MyChat Client Help is relocated to internal MyChat Web server and opens in the browser in your corporate network. MyChat Client setup file became smaller.

3. Various improvements
