Once you download Psi, you'll need to configure your client to connect to the Google Talk service. Here's how:
- Open Psi.
- Click the Psi symbol in the bottom-left corner, and select Account Setup.
- Click Add in the Psi: Jabber Accounts window.
- Enter a name for your account in the Name field (we suggest 'Google Talk'). Also, make sure that the box next to Register new account is not checked.
- Click Add.
- In the Jabber ID field:
- If you're signing in with a Gmail or Google Mail username, enter your full email address.
- If your Google Talk username isn't associated with any Google email service, add @gmail.com to the end of your username. For example, iloveyoko will become iloveyoko@gmail.com.
- If you're a Google Apps user, enter your full email address (gordon@example.com).
- Enter Psi in the Resource field. If this field is left blank, you won't be able to sign in.
- Open the Connection tab.
- Check all boxes.
- Enter talk.google.com in the Host field, and enter 5223 in the Port field (5222 will not work).
- Click Save.
Congratulations! You're now ready to connect to the Google Talk service using Psi.
Once you've configured Psi to connect to the Google Talk service, you may receive a warning message that stating that "The gmail.com certificate failed the authenticity test." This error message is incorrect; click Continue to sign in.
