To chat with project members you must be logged in to the Team Server and logged in to the chat server. You can log in to Chat when you log in to the Team Server. If you do not log in to Chat when you log in, you can enable Chat after you login by clicking the Offline icon in the status bar. For more about enabling and disabling Chat, see Logging in to Chat.
