PreviousProblems with interfaceNextNinchat language

Last updated 5 years ago

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.

Create a bookmark or shortcut directly to a specific channel

You can either create a general shortcut/bookmark to 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:

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

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.

  1. Click the menu button (3 dots) on your browser.

  2. Select "More Tools".

  3. Select "Create Shortcut..."

  4. In the pop-up window, check the box written "Open as window" and click the "Create" button.

  5. A shortcut will appear on your desktop and you can double click it to launch Ninchat.

  6. Pin Ninchat app to the Windows taskbar by right clicking the icon and selecting "Pin to taskbar".

Mozilla Firefox

Bookmark

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.

  1. Right click on the Ninchat tab.

  2. Select "Pin Tab".

  3. The tab now appears smaller, and will always remain open.

Microsoft Edge (old version)

New Microsoft Edge Chromium work similarly as Google Chrome. See tips for Chrome.

Edge (old version) allows you to bookmark websites, as well as to create shortcuts on the Windows taskbar and Start menu.

Bookmark

To add a bookmark, click the star icon in the address bar. You can add a bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar or menu.

Add Ninchat to the Windows taskbar or Start menu

  1. "Pin this page to the taskbar" - You can launch Ninchat directly from the icon on the taskbar.

  2. "Pin this page to Start" - You will then find Ninchat icon in the Start menu where you can launch it directly.

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 Edge browser.

  1. Right click on the Ninchat tab.

  2. Select "Pin".

  3. 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.

Add Ninchat to the Windows taskbar

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

  2. Right click on the icon and select "Pin to taskbar".

To bookmark Ninchat, click the star icon in the address bar of your browser when you are at page. You can choose to add it to the Bookmarks Bar or Other Bookmarks/folders.

While you are on or the desired team channel, click the browser menu button (3 dots) and select from the options:

Internet Explorer allows you to add a website to the Windows taskbar where you can launch it directly. Go to or the desired team channel, and click the browser menu button (gear icon).
