Mobile-Specific Options for Zendesk Chat Widget

Discover the mobile-specific appearance options for the Zendesk Chat widget, including Chat Popout and Overlay Window.

What are the mobile-specific appearance options for the Zendesk Chat widget?

The Zendesk Chat widget offers two mobile-specific appearance options to enhance user experience. These options are Chat Popout and Overlay Window.

The Chat Popout option opens the chat in a new tab, which means visitors will need to switch tabs to continue their conversation while browsing your site. On the other hand, the Overlay Window option opens the chat in a pane within the same tab, allowing visitors to minimize the chat easily without leaving the page. This flexibility helps you provide a seamless chat experience on mobile devices.
