Introduction

The chat widget component embeds a live chat interface into the page. By default, it loads the UMD Libraries' standard chat widget. A custom URL can be provided to use an alternative chat service.

It should be placed in the Header region via Drupal Block Layout, positioned after the Navigation component.

For placement guidance, see Base Layout (Drupal Block Layout).
