Trillian is a freeware download for Windows and Mac. The services 'you need', need you to use their client & will break anything else to do it. Slack used to support IRC, but now doesn't. WhatsApp, for instance, aggressively ban & sue third party clients. Just click connect and it should let you start chatting.Īs I said in this tutorial you need to make a trillian account and a GeekShed account both of which are free. While plugins are technically possible for the PC version, they do not exist for practical reasons. You don’t need to enter anything into the password section. Enter #illage3 (or the channel) into the “Room Title” box. Then all you have to do is enter in the channel you want to join. At the top of the main trillian Window you will see a new IRC icon, click on that and then click connect to (your nick), then click the icon again and click on “Join a channel”. Once you have added the IRC account you can close the account manager and then return to the main IRC window.

When it comes on, all you need to do is enter in the box which says server, as for the other two boxes just enter in your IRC nick (You need to have registered with geekshed before hand if not then you will not have a nick). Once you are on the account manager, you need to add the IRC server and channels you want to join.Ĭlick on Add new account > IRC. This tutorial is based on the Windows version of Trillian so if you are using a Mac then you are out of luck.įirst thing you need to do is open the account manager, this can be done by clicking on the trillian button at the very top of the main trillian Window.
