Chatbot positioning on WordPress

[Anonymous]

Good morning, everyone!

I have recently created a Chatbot for a website which uses WordPress and I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to have the chatbot positioned on the bottom-right corner as a sort of a popup and for it to be locked into place like a navigation bar so that when you scroll down you are always able to see it and click on it.

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous,

You can achieve that by customizing and hosting your own chat canvas:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/customize-default-canvas#customize-and-host-your-chat-canvas-advanced

There is even a nice sample for this on GitHub, Sample - Customize Web Chat by Making the Component Minimizable:

You can see that example in action over here btw:

Hope this helps a bit?
