I don’t use the sidebar for chat, and just stick with the speech bubble in the header, and that works great for me whether on mobile or desktop. 👍 I’ve only recently started Discours-ing on the desktop version, so perhaps it’s time for me to have a practice with the sidebar now I have more screen to play with. 🤔 I do quite like the speech bubble option though.
