If the chat option isn't showing up on your Zendesk widget, it might be due to a few common issues. First, ensure that chat is enabled in your Admin Center. It's possible for chat to be accidentally disabled, especially if multiple administrators are managing the account. To enable it, go to the Channels icon in the sidebar, select Classic > Web Widget, and turn the Chat toggle on. Don't forget to click Save.
Another reason could be that your agents are not online. Make sure your agents have their status set to Online in the Agent Workspace or the chat dashboard, depending on your setup.
