Groupchats are a way to talk with multiple friends at the same time, like when you are standing together in a group. To create a groupchat click the groupchat icon in the bottom left corner and set a name. Now you can invite your contacts by right-clicking on the contact and selecting "Invite to group". Currently, if the last person leaves the chat, it is closed and you have to create a new one. Videochats and file transfers are currently unsupported in groupchats.
## Message Styling
Similar to other messaging applications, qTox supports stylized text formatting. Formatting follows [Markdown syntax](), thus:
* For **Bold**, surround text in double asterisks or underscores: `**text**` or `__text__`
* For **Italics**, surround text in single asterisks or underscores: `*text*` or `_text_`
* For **Strikethrough**, surround text in single tilde's: `~text~`
* For **Underline**, surround text in single dashes: `-text-`
Additionally, qTox supports three modes of Markdown parsing:
* `Plaintext`: No text is stylized
* `Show Formatting Characters`: Stylize text while showing formatting characters (Default)
* `Don't Show Formatting Characters`: Stylize text without showing formatting characters
*Note that any change in Markdown preference will require a restart.*
## Multi Window Mode
In this mode, qTox will separate its main window into a single contact list and one or multiple chat windows, which allows you to have multiple conversations on your screen at the same time. Additionally you can manually group chats into a window by dragging and dropping them onto each other. This mode can be activated and configured in [settings](#settings).
