You can't directly "ping" someone on Gmail Chat. However, you can send them a message to get their attention. Here's how:
- Open Gmail Chat: Click the chat icon in the bottom right corner of your Gmail screen.
- Select the Contact: Find the person you want to message and click on their name.
- Type a Message: Compose your message and click the send button (the paper airplane icon).
Here are some tips to get someone's attention in Gmail Chat:
- Use a greeting: Start with a friendly "Hey" or "Hi" to make your message stand out.
- Mention their name: Including their name in the message will make it more personal.
- Use emojis: Adding an emoji or two can make your message more engaging.
- Ask a question: This will encourage them to respond.
Example:
"Hey [Contact Name], are you available to chat? I have a quick question."
