THE HOLM GUIDE / STAY CONNECTED
Chat & screen sharing
Keep a conversation close.
Conversations
Right-click → Friends and chat opens conversations in the Holm window. Send text, quick reactions and GIFs, or click + beside the message box to choose files. File transfers use Beam and require it to be enabled.
Messages while offline
A friend whose Holm is closed gets a sealed chat note when it starts, while that note remains in the inbox (about 12 hours). Chat history stays on your PC, with the last 300 messages per friend.
Screen sharing
Choose Share my screen in a friend’s chat. The friend receives an invitation to watch. Sharing stops when you choose Stop, close the stream window or the connection is silent for 20 seconds. Holm’s own notch and window are excluded from the capture.
Presence
Active now can show a friend’s stream, call, fullscreen game, music or timer. Share my activity turns off sharing your own activity.
