how to join a chat channel in STO Game

hello all

this guide will show you how to join a channel that you have been invited to or just want to a channel

Fig 1 shows which icon and menu to choose to open the chat settings window


Fig 2 shows you the chat settings window,


now you need to click Channels Tab which leads on to Fig 3 below


now we use a channel called "SaW Channel" which will only appear on your side if you are invited.
as you can see by the fig3 i have highlighted that channel. but it will have invited either next to the word private or it would replace it.

also in that join/create text bar, type in the chat channel you want eg there lots of chat channels but the ones which are the most common,

Top Tier Fleet for weapons and other stuff
SB381 - FED Side
SBG14 - KDF Side

NoP Public Service

than you click on the channel and click join at the bottom of that window

in order to chat to the SaW Channel, See Fig 4


you might have either zone, local or another channel active, but click on that name, eg Zone, Local etc and click the SaW Channel
and then you can start typing



The reason behind is so that if say i am on my Federation (and or Rom) toon and someone else is on there KDF toon. this channel will enable for all of us to chat. as kdf and fed cannot chat in the same fleet chat

also another note
Romulans.
they can either be allied with Fed or KDF
so if there Allied with Fed. then they are the same fleet chat as fed,
same goes it your Romulan is Allied with KDF

thanks all, if you have any questions please pm me or reply to this post
