Need Help Getting WC Up

    Six months ago I reached out to see if WC could replace YouTube Live Chat. I’m looking for a live chat app that doesn’t require registration, and will work with a live stream video on YT embedded in my site at the link above.

    I have a concert this coming Sunday, 11/19. I’ve installed and activated WC. I just need to get it working on my page. Could someone help me with these last steps?

    Marcin helped me before:

    Marcin: thanks for replying. It’s great that WC doesn’t require registration. Will the free version allow me to place the chat to the right of the YT imbedded video window on my site, where YT Live Chat would usually appear?

Yes, it will. All you need to do is to add [wise-chat channel=”my channel name”] shortcode to your page and position the shortcode to the right side of the page.

Marcin: I’m finally ready to try WC. I have a concert coming up on 11/19, and there will be a live stream, embedded from YT, on my site. I’d like to use WC, instead of YT’s live chat, because YT requires registration.

You said above that I need to add shortcode to the page. Is “my channel name” the url for the page that WC will appear on?

Thanks.

    The short code asks for me to insert “my channel”. Is that the url of the page?

    Thank you!

    Hello @2communicate,

    I apologize for the delay. I know it may be way too long, but here is our reply:

    You need to edit the page you have your video stream on and then edit the sidebar of this page. Then add this shortcode:

    [wise-chat channel=”Video 1″]

    This will open a dedicated “Video 1” chat channel for the stream. Most probably the stream is displayed dynamically via some PHP code. Then you need to ask your PHP developer to put the shortcode for you. Instead of “Video 1” insert an unique identifier of the video stream. It may be something like this: “Video 75839487”. This way each stream will have its own separate channel.

    Best regards

    Marcin
