Adium setup guide
We highly recommend using Adium with Olark as it lets you log in using multiple screen names simultaneously, separating business and personal chats for example.
-
Download and install Adium
-
Launch Adium and enter Preferences from the Adium menu options.
-
Select the Accounts tab.
-
Click on the + icon to add your Olark account. Depending on your version of Adium, choose either Jabber or XMPP from the drop down menu.
-
Fill in the Jabber ID field with your Olark username, including @olark.com, as in the screenshot below. Enter your Olark agent password. Click OK. Do NOT click Register New Account.
-
Having issues connecting? Under the Options section, ensure that the Port is set to 5222 and type in ip-jabber.olark.com in the Connect Server section.
- Select Available in the status menu to bring your Olark account online.
You’re all set to chat!
