Adding a Contact

In order to send messages or have a chat with other Groove team members, you need to add them as contacts. In the Launchbar, you can quickly and easily check for the online presence of a contact. By default, each contact appears on the Contacts tab based on status, either Active, Online, or Offline. Each icon next to a contact also indicates whether the member is online, away or offline. In a Groove workspace, you can point to the Files or Discussion tab to display the contacts currently using a tool.
