Sending Files

To send a file, click the paper clip icon and select the file.

Sending Files from Your UBbox

UBbox, UB’s cloud storage, is built into Jabber. Select the UBbox icon to select files.

Sending a Screen Capture

Press the screen capture button, located next to the paperclip button.
Draw a rectangle around an area of your screen, which turns into an image automatically, ready to be sent.
After selecting an area of the screen, press Enter to send it to your colleague or group chat. You can also paste many images, such as screenshots, right into the chat entry area.
