# Mycroft Chat

#### *mycroft-chat-skill.domcross*

### Description:

In your [skill settings](https://home.mycroft.ai) you must enter your username (as given in your Mycroft Chat account settings) and your personal access token. In case you do not have a token you can specify your login-id (usually that is your email) and your password. NOTE: your password will be stored in clear text in your settings.json!)

There is also the option to set the time interval between refresh/check for updates. When monitoring is active the skill will use that time period for automated checking. The option "notify on updates" is only applicable when monitoring is active - when the option is activated Mycroft willl speak out loud the number of unread messages and mentions.
