# Messenger Toolbars

### Log In

Once **Messenger** has successfully been added to the user desktop, they will log in using their MangoApps domain credentials. If the domain has **Single Sign-On** enabled, users can click the **Sign In using another method** button to log in.

From this menu, users can access:

* **Messenger Account Settings and Preferences:** Click the profile image at the top of the menu to access account settings and preferences.
* **Quick Access to Domain Notifications:** Notifications are displayed for quick reference. Clicking a notification will open the relevant item in the web browser.
* **Chats:** The "Chats" section lists all of the users chat conversations, including direct messages and group chats.
* **People:** The "People" section allows users to easily connect with colleagues by displaying their availability, gamification level, and recent activity. It offers sorting options such as Presence Status, Name, and Recent Activity, along with tools to invite users, refresh the list, or start a chat with a simple click.
* **Teams:** The "Teams" section displays all teams the user is a part of, whether or not the Chats module is enabled for the workspaces.
* **Recorder:** Click "Recorder" to open the MangoApps Recorder app. If the app is not installed, users will be redirected to the downloads module in the domain’s web browser.
* **Preferences:** Select "Preferences" for direct access to the account customization settings. This can also be reached via the account menu.

#### Dynamic Panel
