  2. In the search bar, type in the channel in this format: #channel%irc.example.com@xmpp.example.org. You will want to replace #channel with your IRC channel, irc.example.com with the IRC server you want to connect to, and xmpp.example.org with the bridge. In our example, the bridge has the hostname irc.ircnow.org. Next, click Join Group Chat:
