Once you start the chat session by sending a message, a chat window will pop up on the remote computer where the end-user will be able to see your message, and send messages back and forth with you. You’ll be able to chat with end-users while remotely accessing their computer. You can also initiate chat sessions with remote computers under your account even if you’re not in a remote access session.
All chat sessions are logged in the Splashtop web console.
