I’m new to Vital PBX and learning it now. I just set up Vitxi for the first time. Inter extension calling works but when I try to chat between test users they don’t see each other. I’ve must have missed a step somewhere.

- I’ve created a group and put them both in it
- I’ve tried searching by name and extension
- I’ve tried manually creating a contact with the info of an existing extension

Hello!

What version of VitXi do you have installed?

Best regards.,
