What it does
Community sites run on interaction, and members often want a way to talk directly instead of only posting in public streams. This add-on brings private and group conversations onto your own site, so people can reach each other without moving to an outside messaging app. It suits many kinds of community, including e-learning portals, online stores, marketplaces, job boards and niche groups where members benefit from direct contact.
The chat works with existing PeepSo user profiles, so people start conversations using the accounts they already have, with no extra login. It runs alongside other parts of the PeepSo ecosystem such as profiles, groups and activity streams. The chat is optimized for mobile devices, and you can adjust colors, layouts and overall appearance to match your community's branding. Built-in privacy controls help keep conversations between the people taking part.
Best for
- Social community sites built with PeepSo
- E-learning portals where students and instructors need direct contact

Can people share pictures and files in the chat?
Yes. Images, photos and files can be shared directly inside chat conversations, so members do not need to switch to email or another tool to send something to each other.

Yes. The plugin includes design options for colors, layouts and chat appearance, so you can match the messaging area to your community's branding. The chat is also optimized for mobile devices.
