Q: How to Google group chat with Message?

Hello,

 

I was just wondering whether it is possible to do a Google group chat (Hangouts) with Message? I can chat with one person but not with more than one in a group at the same time.

 

Thanks for your help.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Message

    Hi,

     

    This suggests it is possible https://support.google.com/chat/answer/161886?hl=en-GB

    It says you add more than one Buddy to the Chat invite.

     

    As that can be done is Messages in several ways:-

    1) Drag then from a Buddy list to the To spot of a New Message.

    2) Highlight several people in the Buddy List and then use the text icon.

    3) various combos of the above along with the Buddies Menu

     

    Having said that I have not tried to create a Google Chatroom for such a long time and don't have enough Buddies to test it with.
