There are several kinds of conversations. An instant message (commonly abbreviated IM) is a line of text chat that only you and another Resident see. Instant Message conversations can also be between multiple participants, such as a formal group or an ad hoc conference. While sending text messages, you can also simultaneously participate in a private voice call.

The Conversations window shows text chat and other related events, such as joining a voice call. Each participant is represented by their profile icon and name for easy recognition, and to the right are timestamps showing when each event took place.

At the bottom is a field where you can type in your messages and press Enter ↵ to send.

On the left side you'll see the name of the Resident you're chatting with and a bigger profile picture. If you're in a group conversation, you'll see a list of fellow participants, including who's moderating.

Also, if you have more than one conversation in progress, each is shown as a tab at the bottom of this window.

Scroll through the messages you entered in text chat with Ctrl + ↑ and Ctrl + ↓.

Next to , this closes the current conversation. If there are several conversations in the Conversations window, the closed one's tab disappears. If there's only one conversation, the Conversations window closes.
