You can find a link to GMAT Club Chat in the top link bar on every GMAT Club page. Here it is:
https://gmatclub.com/chatPlease abide by do not violate GMAT Club rules that can be found here:
https://gmatclub.com/wiki/GMATClub:RulesBasic Chat featuresWhen you access the Chat link you have to choose your nickname that will be displayed in our chat room. The default nickname is your forum user name. There are some good features present in our chat room. You can change your text color, put smilies and even translate your messages or all other messages to various languages on the go. It is possible to send PMs during chat (which is a significantly quicker way to talk to a person than an ordinary forum PM). To do so you have to click the nickname on the right (in the chat window) and choose "PM".
Usual chat times and how to invite members to chatThe most active discussions usually take place during North American business hours. You can invite other GMAT Club members to chat using this thread:

Chat ClientsYou have different ways to enter the chat room. You can join the channel #gmatclub at irc.mibbit.com in your favorite
IRC client or simply use the
GMAT Club embedded client.
Chat on Mobile PhoneIf you are familiar with IRC clients for Mobile Phones (I've found these popular free IRC clients -
jmIRC,
WLIRC and
CoolIRC), you can use them to connect to #gmatclub channel at irc.mibbit.com.
EtiquettePlease be NICE towards other GMAT Club members and help build the community. Do not attempt to impersonate another member - your IP is visible, will be logged and can be banned.
