Introduction
Starting a chat in Gmail can be intimidating if you’ve never done it before. But it doesn’t have to be! This article is designed to help you navigate the process of starting a chat in Gmail with ease. We’ll walk through each step of the process, from logging in to checking your inbox for a response.
Logging into Gmail and Opening the Chat Window
The first step in starting a chat in Gmail is to log in to your account. To do this, go to gmail.com and enter your username and password. Once you’ve logged in, you’ll see the main Gmail page.
To open the chat window, click on the “Chat” icon at the top right of your screen. This will open a new window with a list of your contacts. You can search for a contact by typing their name or email address in the search bar, or you can scroll through the list to find the person you want to chat with.
Composing a Message
Once you’ve found the person you want to chat with, click on their name to open a chat window. Here, you can compose a message to send to them. To do this, simply type your message in the text box at the bottom of the window.
When you’re ready to send the message, click the “Send” button. This will send the message to the recipient and they will be able to see it in their chat window.
Waiting for a Response
Once you’ve sent the message, you’ll need to wait for a response. To check if you’ve received a response, you can either check your inbox or your outbox. Your inbox contains all messages that have been sent to you, while your outbox contains all messages that you’ve sent.
If you’ve received a response, it will appear in your inbox. If you haven’t received a response, it may be because the recipient hasn’t seen your message yet. In this case, you can either wait for a response or try sending another message.
Conclusion
Starting a chat in Gmail is a simple process if you know what to do. First, log in to your Gmail account. Then, open the chat window and search for the person you want to chat with. Next, compose a message and click “Send” to send it. Finally, wait for a response by checking your inbox and outbox.
