FAQ

Can I remove the LiveChatBot name from the chat?

The chat header shows your website name, and a small “Powered by LiveChatBot” line sits at the bottom. That line can’t be removed at the moment.

Can I use my own chat button?

Yes. Hide the bubble and open the chat with LiveChatBot.open() from any button.

Does the colour change the full-page chat link too?

Yes. The chat link and the inline chat use the same colour.
