Quick start

A native Windows installer — download, run the setup wizard, and your team chat server is up in five steps. No Linux, no Docker, no command line.

1

Run the installer

Download mcserv.zip, extract it and run the installer. Keep the default folder and options — Next, Next, Done.

The server is up — as a Windows service

MyChat Server starts right after installation and can run as a regular Windows service: it starts with the OS, no console window, no extra runtime. Allow it through Windows Firewall when prompted.

Open the admin panel in your browser

The WEB management console opens automatically after the first launch. Everything is configured from the browser — locally or remotely.

Create users and departments

Add your people and group them by department in the Users section. Or skip ahead — users can also self-register if you allow it.

Invite your team

Send the team your server address — web chat works in any browser with nothing to install. Desktop and mobile clients are on the download page.
