face 257, correct?

I tried to add user and its details through "Add contact" sub menu, but it
did not succeed. This is the place where we configure the name Identity of
the remote user, right?

Also since this is decentralized system, it is not required to know what
chat room the remote user is connected to, correct? How does this function?

Do you have any document which will guide through various steps to
establish a two-party chat session?

In your specific face, you may start by registering /ndn/broadcast prefix
