Chat in a bigger chat box on Facebook

Chatting on Facebook is inevitable when you have loads of friends. Each time you sign into Facebook a friend tries to chat with you.

Below is a screenshot of my Facebook account when I am signed in. At this point if anyone sees me online they could possibly start up a chat session with me.

This is fine, however the usual chat area on Facebook is very small and sometimes a bit confusing to keep up with what people are saying.

 

How to start chatting in a bigger chat box on Facebook.

1. When you are signed into Facebook, go to the bottom, right hand corner to see this Chat bar. It shows a green light that means there are three people I know online available to chat.  See the screenshot below.

1. To start chatting on Facebook simply click on the chat bar. See the screenshot below and click where I have marked it with a red cross.

1. As soon as you click on the chat bar a list of online contacts will appear. Click on a name to start chatting to them. This will bring up a small chat box. See the screenshot below.

1. Even though you are chatting already, you can make this chat session box bigger by clicking on the chat bar again.
2. The list will come up, at the top choose options. Then choose Pop out chat. See the screenshot below.

See the chat box I was originally in is now enlarged to a full screen chat box. The whole conversation is still there so we can continue chatting.
