*Weekly Group Chat Instructions & Log In Directions
1) To join in the text chat when MIkey is online, just type some text in the window on the right side of the screen (the text chat window) and a login/registration box will pop up. Simply create a free user name and password of your choice and you are registered.
2) Then, after registering, log in using the user name and password to join in the free live text chat! If you prefer just to watch the video and read other people's text chat questions and comments, you don't need to log in, you just won't be able to type until you register.
3) To start watching the live video, you have to click on the play arrow button on the left video window and it will start the live video streaming/playing. If you are wondering, no, Mikey can't see you on the video, or any other guests, he can only read your responses in the text chat window on the right.
4) The video & text chat are only active when we are streaming live (Thursdays 6:30pm-7pm Pacific time). If you are joining during a different time, our text chat will be offline but if you missed our Weekly Group Chat (live) then you are welcome to view the archives where we keep the video recordings from past weeks.
5) By the way, if you double click on any of the windows it will take you to our Ustream.tv channel (where our video/chat is hosted) and you may need to refresh the window to see the live chat from there (or don't double click the windows and watch it directly from our website.
6) Refreshing your browser is recommended in general if you have any glitches or problems viewing the live video or text chats as this will restart the chat (sometimes even the best websites have problems from time to time...)
7)
Please be respectful of others when chatting or you could be either warned or banned entirely.
P.S. If the advertisements that pop up at the bottom of the video chat screen bother you, just click the "x" on the right side of the ad to close it. Sorry, we don't have any way to permanently turn them off nor do we endorse or subscribe to any of the ads that may appear.
