How to make a chat in one column

Do you want the chat to look like one column, without a contact list and authorization?

In this article, we'll show you how to do it. Within our interface, we can make a group chat that looks like a single dialog box.

All users will be automatically added to this chat after they log in for the first time. They will get auto generated random names. This is the basic settings - a user logs in, gets a random name, a random password, and can use the chat. When the user clears the history of his browser or logs in from another device, a new random username and password will be created for him again and he will log in again with a different username, also anonymously.

The option of One-on-one chat still remains available.

You can test the demo version of such a chat here:
