Hi, Here's a post from a while back. Hopefully, it still works, although I won't guarantee success.
**** Posted from earlier discussions on a list with a few clarifications: Open the Messages app on the Mac if you haven’t done so yet Pull down the “Messages” menu and choose “Add Account…” >From the message account screen, choose “Other messages account…” and click on >“Continue” Pull down the menu next to “Account Type” and select ‘Jabber’ from the list In “Account Name” enter your Facebook account user name as follows: yourusern...@chat.facebook.com (the Facebook username is whatever your Facebook profile URL is, for example: if you're logged into FaceBook on your Mac, go up to the Address field and it should read, "www.facebook.com/your_username’ therefore, the username would be “your_usern...@chat.facebook.com” and the account name would then be your_usern...@chat.facebook.com) Enter your Facebook account password in the password field, this is the same one you use to login to Facebook from the web or the apps Ignore all other settings and choose “Create” – this will setup Facebook messaging client and in a moment you’ll see your Facebook Friends list populate as a buddy list, complete with friend names and friend profile pictures Message anyone in the list as usual, the conversations are going through Facebook Messenger You can access the Facebook Friends buddy list at any time from the “Windows” menu item in Messages app, where you can also set your status to be online or offline, or away.

I still use the Messages app on my Mac for FaceBook messaging. I thought some others were commenting this way a while back when there was a thread about this process on one of the lists, but people still got it set up fine. I'll look through some old info to see if I can find the instructions. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On May 21, 2016, at 15:51, Shawn Krasniuk <bbssh...@icloud.com> wrote: Hi Maurice. You won't be able to access Facebook with Messages because Facebook has dropped support for the Jabber protocol. If you want to be able to chat with people on Facebook on the Mac, I highly recommend Trillian. You can get it free on the Mac App Store.
