Chat icon placement on web pages

Chat is placed on top of the other elements of your website. Consider your website's layout carefully to ensure the Chat icon doesn't obstruct any menus, buttons, or footers. Generally speaking, Chat is commonly placed in the bottom right corner of a web page. The minimized style of the Chat icon is customizable if you choose not to use the UI defaults.
