Can't Enable Chat for New Agents in Zendesk

Learn why you can't enable Chat for new agents in Zendesk. Check license usage or contact support.

Why can't I enable Chat for new agents in Zendesk?

If you're unable to enable Chat for new agents in Zendesk, it might be because all your licenses are currently in use.

When you try to enable Chat and see a message indicating no seats are available, it could mean that your subscription's licenses are fully utilized. Alternatively, if you've recently updated your subscription, there might be a delay in the system reflecting these changes. To resolve this, the account owner should check the number of licenses used and those available in the subscription. If the issue persists after a subscription upgrade, contacting Zendesk Customer Support is recommended.

For more details, you can refer to the article onViewing and managing plan subscriptions.
