What are you using for synchronous chat

We disabled Moodle's chat activity years ago because it gave us loads of problems (probably related to being on a load-balanced server) but I'm getting increasing pressure to provide a chat solution "in Moodle". 

If anybody out there is doing this, how are you doing it?

Hi Howard

I created a Moodle site for a local Malaysian institute. The Chat plugin that I chose was vmchat. That was over a year ago. I have had no complaints about it so far.



Interface-wise, it resembles Facebook's chat interface. I like it.


I believe the authors of the plugin made it lightweight in terms of memory demands and usage. It's been around for a while and I highly recommend it! Here is it's Github link.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
