I want to integrate a chat room, then I realized discourse comes with a chat room, then I realized it’s not very good. For example, I tried to use it here in meta and I can’t make sense of it. For one, how do I add a channel? If a channel exists, it should be smacking me in the head to add it! This…

It’s obviously your decision, but I’d recommend giving native chat a better go before looking for alternatives. We use it heavily at Discourse and it’s great. Have you seen Exploring features in Discourse Chat ? It explains how to configure it properly.

Have you taken a look at the chat channels on try.discourse.org ? The new channel button for staff is quite hidden. It’s at the top right. [изображение] Emphasize the New channel button when there are no channels [Screenshot_20240516_162106_Chrome]

[изображение] Kartoon: You can’t add a channel here because you don’t run the site? Geeze. Join. How do I join a channel since I’m not joined to any? The chat box is a dead end. I don’t expect people to just randomly make their own channels or chat rooms or whatever on meta or my own site. D…

You are in the forum right now but the window in your screen shot is the chat area here on Meta and you can’t add channels because it is not your forum. On your forum you will have admin capabilities. [изображение] gene morris: How do I join a channel since I’m not joined to any? The chat box i…

I think there’s a huge misunderstanding. I’m not trying to create any channel here in meta. I am merely asking how do I join an existing channel? When I open the chat box and it tells me I’m not part of anything and there’s nothing to click on what do I do next? “There are no public channels here o…

Вы посмотрели чат-каналы на try.discourse.org?

Новая кнопка канала для сотрудников довольно скрыта. Она находится в правом верхнем углу.
