 uTox is about as basic and self-explanatory as Tox clients come. The first time you open it you're directed to the Add Friend page where you can add your first friend. Once you've added some people, you can open up your chat session with them by Left-clicking on their names. uTox is about as basic and self-explanatory as Tox clients come.
