Beyluxe Messenger

Beyluxe Messenger is an instant messaging service that you can use to communicate with people from all over the world. The user interface of the program contains many of the functions found in many more popular applications that serve the same purpose.

You can view online and offline friends, add contacts, chat via microphone and enable webcam, send and receive files, view time stamps, set a predefined or custom status, switch to invisible mode and manage "custom away" messages.

You can change the theme and your account password, view a profile, access the message archive, change the interface theme, create a private room or join a public chatroom (includes several categories and sub-categories).

You can enter the "Preferences" menu to configure "General" (e.g. automatically start Beyluxe Messenger), "Appearance", "Message Archive", "Events and Sounds", "Privacy Options", "Account Manager", "Favorite Manager", "Webcam Setup" and "Audio Setup".

The messenger uses a moderate-to-high amount of system resources and contains a help file. However, you cannot create groups of friends or use a picture to identify yourself.

Also, when you log in with your account, you have to input the password by using a virtual keyboard. While this is a great way to improve security, it can become frustrating to use every time, especially if you have a long password that contains special characters.

Beyluxe Messenger may not be as powerful as other similar products but its responsive time is very good and it didn't freeze or crash during our tests. We recommend it to practical users.
