If you need to communicate with your coworkers, who are in the same building, it would be pointless to use a messenger like Yahoo, MSN or others. To avoid being hindered by people from the outside, you can chat with your colleagues over your local network. This can be done in a simple and efficient manner with Vypress Chat. It offers everything you would expect from an instant messenger, including public or private chat, file sharing, relaying public announcements and much more.

When installing Vypress Chat, you will not have to make any configurations regarding your network connection. It comes in a 1.75 Mb setup package and it can be installed almost instantly. It works on all Windows versions, from Win 95 to Win 7. The best part is that Vypress Chat works well under various conditions. For example, your friend could use an older version of Vypress Chat and you can even use different Windows editions. You will be able to chat normally, without the need to make additional configurations.

You just need to install the software and run it to start chatting. You will appear in all contacts lists and other people will appear in yours instantly, even when running Vypress Chat for the first time. If you want to avoid a user, you may block his messages or select different options to ignore him in public channels or private chat. The interface has a familiar interface, so it will not take long to adapt to the application or its functions.

You can chat publicly on the main window, where you can also find the contacts list. Double clicking a contact will bring up a separate chat window, which you can use to communicate with a person in private. It is possible to set up alerts for individual contacts. You may set the application to play a sound, show an alert window, a balloon notification, send a message, run a program and more. These actions can be triggered when a user joins or leaves a channel.

Your nickname can be changed instantly just by typing a new one, above the contacts list. Vypress Chat can save up to 10 nicknames, if you change them often and it lets you select one from a popup menu. It is possible to create new channels or join existing ones. The options are found on a separate window and they are very easy to understand. Created channels are represented by different tabs, on the main window, allowing you to switch from one to another instantly.

A very interesting and useful feature is the possibility of posting messages on a bulletin board, which is found under one of the navigation tabs. A text editor allows you to change the font settings, align your text, insert pictures and more. Once you post your message, everyone on your network will be able to see it, under the Board tab. It is also possible to set an expiration date for your messages. In this way, they will disappear from the board automatically. There are many more useful functions to find on Vypress Chat's interface, such as message filtering or pre-defined commands. Overall, the software provides you with everything you need to chat over a network, in a simple, efficient and comfortable manner.

Pros

You can join public channels immediately, without making any configurations. The software facilitates public and private chat, it is capable of transferring files very fast and its many functions are easy to understand. The bulletin board is a very handy feature, which allows anyone to see important notices, even if he signs in later.

Cons

The possibility of attaching files, when posting a message on the bulletin board, would be an excellent addition. Comfort, flexibility and ease of use are just a fraction of what Vypress Chat has to offer. When it comes to chatting over a network, the application is an excellent and reliable solution, even for novice users.
