At this time Paltalk supports AOL, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo messengers

You can login to AOL, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo messengers all at once while using Paltalk. When you are logged into these other IM services you can 'instant message' anyone who is currently online, and even invite them into a Paltalk chat room!

note: you may not send offline messages to users on other IM services, but you can send offline messages to Paltalk users. When you are logged into another IM service, you will see an icon representing that service appear 'in color' at the bottom of the main 'pal list window'.

To log into another IM service follow these steps...

Step 1
select 'login to other chat programs' from the 'file' menu on the main 'pal list window'

note:  if you have never used this feature, the interoperability module will download and install automatically - do not interrupt this process - after the module downloads it's installer will launch - proceed with the installation and then....
