How are instant messages different from voice conversations?
Both instant messages and invitations to voice conversations are sent in the conversation window, but the two differ in these ways:
- For instant message conversations, you communicate by typing text. For voice conversations, you communicate by using your microphone to talk to someone at another computer, whose response you hear through your computer speakers.
- You "send" an instant message. You "start" a voice conversation.
