## Enable User Messaging Feature

Select this option to allow your console to connect to the MiCollab Client Server to receive presence information and to chat with contacts.

Note: CloudLink chat capability is enabled on the MiCollab Client Server.
Note: In VHOC mode, the User-Messaging/Chat feature is not supported, but the Options menu where the Admin can enter the necessary login details to enable the feature is still accessible. It is recommended for the Admin to use the Options menu to configure any Console features, regardless of whether VHOC is enabled or not.
