Run Multiple Google Talk Client at your Desktop with Prism
A few days back, we discussed about how to get invisible in Google Talk while staying at your Desktop. Prism helped us in building invisible version by using the online flash client of Gtalk. This combination of Gtalk Flash Version and Prism can also be used to run multiple Gtalk clients with different accounts at once.
Prism treats every window as a separate browser. This can be used for running many Google Talk messengers with different accounts at once. If you have multiple Google Accounts and want to run all of them in messenger, all you have to do is create multiple shortcut in Mozilla Prism.
To run multiple Gtalk Messengers at once, follow and repeat the below steps:
- Download & Install Mozilla Prism if you haven’t already done so.
- Run Prism, a window will open. Paste this link ( http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/popout ) in the URL field.
-
Give it a name as “Google Talk – Account 1”. - Configure other options as per your need as where do you want to place its shortcuts. Prism creates a shortcut for every app you create. Make sure you place atleast create one shortcut.
- Run the shortcut you just created.
- Re-size the window to look like a messenger by using Drag button in the bottom right of the window.
- Repeat steps again if necessary from Step 2.
This works with Google Accounts as well as with Google Apps accounts. This method will help people run multiple copies of Gtalk Messenger at once and simultaneously also supporting invisibility.

Has anyone been successful getting it to work with a Google Apps account?
I’m not having much joy. It always seems that GA have the issues.
