It provides a ready-to-use chat widget backed by CometChat’s real-time infrastructure — no frontend framework required.
The Chat Widget is not customizable beyond the configuration options available in the Widget Builder dashboard. If you require deeper customization, consider using our UI Kits instead. See the complete capabilities and limitations list.
With CometChat Widget Builder, you can:
  • Embed chat and calling into any HTML page
  • Customize themes, colors, and typography
  • Toggle features on and off
  • Go live with a simple embed code snippet
The widget connects to CometChat’s SDK and infrastructure, which manages message transport, sync, and backend scaling.
