Create bookmarks and shortcuts for Ninchat
You can make launching and using Ninchat easier with shortcuts and bookmarks. Below is a guide to how you can do it in different browsers.

You can either create a general shortcut/bookmark to https://ninchat.com/app or you can directly launch a specific channel on Ninchat, by creating a bookmark in your browser when you are on the desired channel. The address looks like this: https://ninchat.com/app/#/c/1p255nth008
Guides for different web browsers
Google Chrome
These tips work also with the new Microsoft Edge Chromium browser.
You can make launching and opening Ninchat faster by creating a bookmark on the top row of your Chrome browser, or by creating a custom launch shortcut to Ninchat on your desktop.
Bookmark
To bookmark Ninchat, click the star icon in the address bar of your browser when you are at https://ninchat.com/app page. You can choose to add it to the Bookmarks Bar or Other Bookmarks/folders.
Application
You can also run Ninchat as a standalone application from your normal browser, which can also be pinned to the taskbar or Start menu. Notifications and other actions are the same as in the normal browser window.
Click the menu button (3 dots) on your browser.
Select "More Tools".
Select "Create Shortcut..."
In the pop-up window, check the box written "Open as window" and click the "Create" button.
A shortcut will appear on your desktop and you can double click it to launch Ninchat.
Pin Ninchat app to the Windows taskbar by right clicking the icon and selecting "Pin to taskbar".
Mozilla Firefox

Firefox does not support standalone desktop shortcuts, but you can still bookmark Ninchat in your browser by clicking the star icon in the address bar. You can add a bookmark to the Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, or Other Bookmarks.
Pin tab
You can pin the Ninchat tab on the top row of the browser, so that it is always there whenever you use your Firefox browser.
Right click on the Ninchat tab.
Select "Pin Tab".
The tab now appears smaller, and will always remain open.

Internet Explorer (IE)
We strongly advice using a more modern browser: Chrome, Firefox or Edge. IE is not secure and doesn't support all features, including video calls.
IE allows you to bookmark websites, as well as to create shortcuts on the Windows taskbar.
Bookmark
To add a bookmark, click the star icon in the address bar. You can add a bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar or menu.

Click "Add site to Apps" and Ninchat icon will appear in the Windows taskbar.
