How does it work?
Mylivechat helps visitors to connect with the company’s representatives on their website to get their queries answered.

If a support agent is online, then a chat window (customizable according to the website page) will open and the visitor can start the chat instantly. In case no supports/sales agent is online, the visitor can leave a message which can be followed up by the agents when they are back.
In addition, the traffic of the website can also be monitored in real time. One can chat with multiple visitors at the same time. Each chat session has its own separate room tab in the agent’s console.

- Download and install the agent’s console for your Windows or Mac PC, or log in to the web version of the same.
- That’s it. You can now start live chat online with your visitors.
Why MyLiveChat?
There are many live chat software available, but what makes Mylivechat unique is the fact that it is powered by “Cute Chat”. Cute chat is a fully-featured ASP.NET software that can support hundreds of chat rooms and thousands of visitors without any lag in the chatting experience.
Mylivechat is equipped with high load support, moderated chat, font/color/customization, emoticons, private messaging, profanity filtering, private chat room, ignore users features etc.
This chat system is Ajax based, which means no repeated reloadings. Many small to large website portals that are built for community building, live events, romance and dating, use the same system. Mylivechat is highly reliable and can bear many chat loads at a time. There is also an option for running moderated chat events that allow the user to run online chat events with industry experts where a website owner can have members to pay a fee to attend or get an author to pay a fee to hold a broadcast to promote their latest books. This function comes as standard with Cute Chat.
