Q: How do I get Messages to send Google Talk chats to more than one person?
I currently am using Google Hangouts on my Macbook Air to chat with a group of 2 friends, and am wanting to get Messages set up to support the group chat. But when I put my Google info into the Messages app it only lets me chat with one person at a time. If I try to send a message to the group it allows me to type and press enter, but then nothing ever actually sends. I have both a Google account added and a Jabber account add that are both to the same email. Both don't work...
I've tried using the chat room feature, but when I go to set up a chat room all the options to click are greyed out and it never recognizes a chat room name:
I've read numerous threads about this problem and tried all the server side settings that are recommended here:
I've also checked my Google account settings and made sure that outside access was allowed and SSL was turned off.
But still nothing helps...
Here's my computer and OS info:
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
