- Our experience was that a US network address can speed up the one-time enablement of Bing chat. The US network address is then not necessary in subsequent access of Bing chat. If you have difficulties with this, please email to cchelp@ust.hk or visit ITSO's helpdesk for assistant.
- Browse to https://bing.com using Edge and then select Chat. Please try if you can chat with Bing chat by putting your question in "Ask me anything".
