Help embedding the Chat Feature and more

I would like to embed a Chat Box into a Networked/Online "game" for testing and expansion purposes. My goal is to create a simple World in which my dad and I can move around in and message each other using a global chat like conversation box.

I realize Photon has a Chat Feature available, but the problem for me is that I don't actually know how to get a server going and approach the embedding part of the chat box. I don't know very much of anything about the Networking aspects of Unity and what it is capable of. I don't know where to start.

Does anyone have any suggestions for learning Photon or another option for getting started on this job? I am not limited to Photon but am assuming it is the best out there for getting Online games put together in a timely manner.

Any help much appreciated, Thanks.

 

well the good thing is photon chat is pretty simple: drag and drop the prefab in your scene, configure your photon chat key, then it should work out of the box without modify any script
