Hey @yas-se,
Thanks for reaching out with your question! At this time we don’t have a way to hide the chat bubble for when people first visit your page. It’s possible within what Facebook offers with their chat library, though the plugin is missing the option in the front end.
We’ve got an internal request for this though, and I’m happy to add your vote for it! Our developers are currently working on the latest version of the plugin which offers better connectivity and brings back some of the visibility and sync features we introduced in earlier versions. Once this is released, I’m sure our product team will be looking for the next big items!
In the meantime, it may be possible to hardcode the change to avoid the pop-up appearing by default, though I must warn you that this would be overridden and removed with each plugin update.
Is this something you’d still be interested in, or are you happy to wait for a future release?
Cheers!
Simon.
