Overview

Chat widget consists of 3 components: (1) chat header, (2) chat messages and (3) message input. Mixing and customising these components should be easy for users. We can consider having multiple behaviours such as (1) chat as one of the widgets on the screen and (2) chat as an overlay modal.
