Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] IM/Chat Sugesstions
We use Google Hangouts, if you're Google users. It's really easy to screenshare if necessary--I use it all the time for troubleshooting--even if the user on the other end doesn't also use Google. And I also like the chat feature, which can show up either in your Gmail window or you can also run it in a separate tab (https://hangouts.google.com/).

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] IM/Chat Sugesstions
As a library we've been using Blogger for internal communication. Other groups I've belonged to have used Trello, slack, and even Discord. Other Apps that have been helpful for other functions include todoist and evernote.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] IM/Chat Sugesstions
Hi Jordan, If your library has Microsoft 365, there is “Microsoft Teams” that is a private instant message chatting program. We use it in my library system.

Hello all, Our consortium is looking for chat/IM platform to help facilitate smoother communication when troubleshooting various tech problems we face. Email is nice but it has its limitations. I am curious if anyone one else is using one of the various platforms out there and the "why" for choosing it. Thanks, Jordan
