Walkthroughs - Pidgin

While we generally recommend using the Jive client, there are a few cases in which Valdosta State University employees must run specialized software to fulfill their work responsibilities that could cause conflicts with the Jive client. However, these users can install Pidgin, an alternative instant messanger client.

Note: Please use this client ONLY if you have verified with the Helpdesk that you are running conflicting software.

For additional information or questions regarding Pidgin, please refer to the Pidgin Frequently Asked Questions site.
