Friends, groups and messages

Finding musicians, managing friends, your band's group chat and one-on-one jams.

Finding musicians

FIND FRIENDS & JAM opens the friends list and search: search by name or email, with filters for instrument and genre and the “Online only” checkbox.
You edit your profile (instruments, genres, avatar) from the home screen with EDIT PROFILE and CHANGE AVATAR.

A friend request has to be accepted by the other person; from then on you can see whether they're online or already playing (IN JAM), and you can message them.
MSG opens private messages: they reach people even when they're offline, and they'll find them the next time they sign in.

A group is your band's chat: it's always there, even when there's no jam, and anyone who's offline finds the messages the next time they sign in.

On the Groups tab press NEW GROUP, type the name and tick the friends to add (up to 20 people).
In the group you write messages and send images, audio and video (up to 15 MB) with the + button. The number next to the group name counts the unread messages.
The globe at the top of the group chat, and next to the X in private messages, is the automatic translation, as in the room chat: messages written in another language reach you in yours, marked “translated”, and a click shows the original. Whoever was offline finds them translated the next time they sign in.
GROUP JAM opens a private room named after the group and invites all its members; anyone who's offline gets the invite as soon as they connect, if someone is still in the room, and also finds the code to join in the group.
Whoever created the group manages it with MANAGE: they can add or remove people, rename it or delete it. The others see the members with MEMBERS and can leave whenever they want.

From the friends list you can invite a friend to play with just you: they get it as a notification (Invite to play) and accept with one click.
To play with more people, or with video, use a room.
