Open allofuschat.com in your browser, or click the All Of Us Chat logo from any page. You'll land on the home screen with two big action buttons in the center.

You'll be taken to the Create Room page. Fill in a Room Name (what guests will see), your Display Name, and your Language. You can optionally set a Password so only invited people can join.

After clicking Create Room, you'll be taken directly into the chat room. A unique Room ID is generated (e.g. XK29A). Share it with anyone you want to invite. They go to Join Room and enter the same ID.

From the home screen at allofuschat.com, click the Join Room button. Alternatively, if someone sent you an invite link, simply click that link — it will pre-fill the Room ID automatically.

On the Join page, fill in the Room ID exactly as given (case-insensitive), your Display Name that others will see, and your Language for translation. If the room has a password, enter it in the Password field.

Once inside the room, you can type and send messages immediately. Every message from other participants is automatically translated into your chosen language in real time. You'll see the translated version on top and the original below it.

Translation is automatic — no extra steps needed. When you create or join a room, pick your Language from the dropdown. This tells the system which language to translate incoming messages into for you. Every participant can set a different language.

Inside the room, each message shows two layers: the translated version (bold, top) and the original text (italic, below). For your own messages, the translation shown is what the other person sees — so you can verify it's accurate.

The free plan includes 10 core languages. For 100+ languages, better grammar accuracy, and professional-grade translations, add the DeepL add-on ($3.99/mo) from your Profile page or the Subscription page. Toggle it on/off any time.

The quickest method — just tell people your Room ID (the short code shown in the room header). Anyone who goes to allofuschat.com → Join Room and enters it will join instantly. If your room has a password, share that too.

Click the QR button in the room toolbar. A QR code pops up that links directly to the join page with your Room ID pre-filled. Show it on your screen for people to scan with their phone camera — they'll be taken straight to the room.

Click Copy Link to copy a full URL that pre-fills the Room ID on the Join page. Paste it directly into any chat app, SMS, email, or social media post. When someone clicks it, they land on the Join page with the ID already filled in — they just need to enter their name and language.

You need to be logged in to access your profile. Click the avatar circle (your initials) in the top-right corner of the page to open the account dropdown, then click Profile.

On the profile page you can update your Display Name (visible to others in rooms), your Email Address (used for login and notifications), and your Default Language for translation. Click the field, type your new value, then hit Save Changes.

Scroll down the Profile page to the Security section. Enter your current password, then your new password twice to confirm. Click Update Password. Use a strong password with letters, numbers, and symbols.

To react or reply to any message: on desktop right-click the message bubble; on mobile long-press (hold your finger down for ~0.5 seconds). A context menu pops up with emoji reactions, a reply option, and copy text.

In the context menu, tap any emoji from the top row to add your reaction. The emoji appears below the message bubble with a count, visible to everyone in the room. You can add multiple reactions to the same message — and so can others.

Click Reply in the context menu. A reply bar appears just above your message input showing a preview of the message you're replying to. Type your response and hit Send. Your reply is linked to the original message so everyone can see the context.
