Unfortunately, it can’t support Discourse Bars at the moment.

The component uses the original chat drawer, and the positioning is done manually.  
Unless we can use/move the original `<ChatDrawer />` component where we want, that would be difficult, I believe. I agree, though; that would be great! 🙂
