When someone else is in your room you can stream music - more on buying it later.įinally, you can enter rooms to chat with others. Now you can do things with other people, like shaking hands or high fiving. You still type words into a text box, but the avatars have balloons above their heads that show what you're saying. If you have friends who also have IMVU, you can add them to your buddy list. You can also specify if you'd like to chat with someone with specific attributes, such as a certain age range or gender. There's a random chat button that can connect you with someone else interested in chatting with a stranger. Playing around with your avatar is a lot of fun, but IMVU is a chat client, after all. It can also sit down by clicking on seat icons in the room and instantly teleport anywhere in the room with a single click. For example, your avatar can get in a sad mood or do a back flip. The tutorial also explains how to change moods and expressions as well as perform actions that come with your avatar. There are several free options in each category. IMVU has a tutorial to walk you through the basics, such as changing your clothes, hair color, accessories and rooms. Once you've installed the software, log in with your chosen username and password. Now you're registered and can download the file to install IMVU on your computer. Next, you enter information about yourself, such as your e-mail address and birthday.

First, though, you have to create an account by going to the main IMVU Web page and clicking on 'Sign Up.' You'll choose a name, gender and one of 10 predressed starter avatars. Like many other instant messaging clients, you just need to download a piece of software from the Web site.
