How to Conference

To start an encrypted conference (multi-user secure chat), you need to have a Project SCIM Enterprise Edition License.

Only one person in a conference needs a Enterprise Edition License; the software is written so that only the person with the EEL is able to start a conference;

  • The user with the SCIM Enterprise Edition License starts a chat session as normal (by double clicking a friend's username in the list of online friends).
  • Once the chat session has started, the licensee clicks "Connection" then "Conference" which will bring SCIM into secure conferencing mode.
  • Once the program has entered conferencing mode, anyone in the conference can invite other Users in.
  • To invite other users to your conference, use the "Invite" button in your menu bar.
  • Within the "Invite" menu, you will see a list of all your friends who are online. Click on a friends username to invite them into your conferencing session.
Notes:
  • The ability to start a Conference won't be available to Users without a license.
  • In order to conference you will need at least three online users.
  • Versions of the Project SCIM software prior to 1.5 are not able to start nor join conferences. Upgrade here
