Chat on Homepage 1.9

I apologize if this has been covered before but I can't find it and similar topic solutions have not fixed my issue. I'm looking for a way to have a chat on my homepage where students who are logged in could use it but also potential students could access and ask questions about our courses even if they don't have an account set up yet. We'll just leave it visible/open during normal business hours and hide it when we are not available to avoid a potential security issue. I have not been able to figure out how to do this even if I override roles or change the status of someone on the homepage. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Todd,

You can enable logged-in users to participate in a chat activity by setting the default front page role to student in Site Administration > Front Page > Front Page settings.

To enable potential students to participate in the chat, you need to create a visitor account, say with username = password = visitor, for everyone to share.
