How to add services to Trillian Astra, the ultimate multinetwork client

The new version of the best-known multinetwork messaging client brings new functions and support for extra platforms, and most important, a clear intention of simplifying its use. Let’s see how to add services like Twitter, Facebook, Windows Messenger MSN, etc. to our Trillian Astra.

Those who are taking their first steps in Trillian Astra will be aided by the excellent settings assistant by means of which they can add their accounts to combine the profiles of the several social networks in one single program. Or, if you have already used Trillian Astra and you want to add an account, like for instance your Facebook profile, this is what you need to do.

From Trillian Astra’s main interface you must access the option ‘Trillian’>> ‘Manage connections’ in the menu bar on the top. There you will see all the accounts associated to Trillian Astra up to now, but you can also add new connection using the button on the right bottom corner of the window. Another window will appear where you must indicate the service you want to add, such as Facebook in this case. Then fill in the fields ‘User name’, ‘E-mail address’ and ‘Password’ and click on ‘Connect’.

This is all you need to do to add a new service to Trillian Astra. In this way, you’ll be able to access it together with other services, like Twitter, Google Talk, ICQ, Windows Messenger MSN, all of them together in the same window.
