We’ve added a few new features this week to InTheRooms. The first is our chatroom - you can access it by clicking “Chat” in the menubar. In the chatroom, there is General Chat, and also private / instant messaging. To send someone an Instant Message, click on their name on the right, and click “Private Message”. You can also create your own private chat rooms by typing “/join whatever”, and just replace ‘whatever’ with the name of your room.
In the past few weeks we noticed that a lot of members have been sharing links to videos on YouTube and the like in the discussions. We added a feature that allows members to embed videos from over 150 video websites. Just go to create a new discussion, and paste the link to the video page into the field that says “Embed a video”.
Also new is the auto friend finder / inviter. This new feature downloads all of your contacts from your email if you want, and finds everyone already on InTheRooms, and requests to add them as your friend. Afterwards you have the option of inviting friends to join you on InTheRooms.
