22 Go to the "Online Accounts" dialog; the menu with your name at the top
23 right of the screen, select "Online Accounts". Alternatively, go to
24 System Settings (Windows key, type "settings", it should appear), and
25 select "Online Accounts". Click on the "+" button to add an account,
26 select Google (right now the only available, I believe), click "Add",
27 and a kinda-browser form will appear, where you should enter your
28 Google mail, and your password. You cick "sign", and Google will
29 notify you that GNOME is trying to access your accounts. You click
30 "grant access", and then select which Google services you want to
31 handle with GNOME (mail, calendar, chat, etc.) Then in the menu with
32 your name at the top right of the screen, select "Available".
33
34 Afterwards you open Empathy (Windows key, type "empathy; it should
35 appear), and it should connect you to your Google chat account.
