Many other features can be enabled or disabled, including support for sending GIFs, uploading files, direct messaging between users, and more.

Up to 20 users can connect at once on the Free tier. If you expect more users, you can consider subscribing to a monthly or annual subscription. ### Can I change the background or colors? Yes. These options and more are available via “Chat Settings” from within your chatroom itself. Upload a background image, change the color scheme, set up light or dark mode, and more. ### Can I ban users from the chat, or remove messages? Yes. Clicking a user will allow you to ban them. You can also tap and hold a message, or click the three dots next to it, to delete an individual message. ### Can I appoint moderators? Yes. Moderators can ban users and remove messages, but you retain full control and are able to add or remove moderators as desired. ### Does this increase my server costs or bandwidth? No. The chat and content within are hosted on our servers; messages are not stored on your server, and connections are not established with your server. ### Can users use their existing accounts to chat? Yes. Set up Single Sign-On within the plugin settings to get started. Once configured, users will be able to chat right away using their same name and photo (if present) from your WordPress site. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e53bcbaf79ce212a9f5012aa120d7fd287ac9d0e2ff85f6221ba09dbf735cd0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Don’t Bother!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dont-bother-84/)󠁿 [xfilesbsw](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xfilesbsw/) March 28, 2026 Not good, you need to be a professor to try to get it working.

Minor frontend UI changes. #### 4.0.6 Version 4.0.6 of the plugin is here, with a behind-the-scenes change: When generating SSO tokens, we now make a request where the “minnitpage” URL parameter is used, rather than the more generic “p”. This will ensure the chatroom will correctly operate, without conflicting with other potential plugins. #### 4.0.5 Removes `min-width` from the chatroom frame, so if the chat is embedded on a very small div, it will remain confined to the parent dimensions. #### 4.0.4 When the chatroom is floating, its height will now scale properly on very small displays #### 4.0.3 Prevents the button from taking up more space than necessary after the chatroom is dismissed #### 4.0.2 Adds SSO to any Minnit Chat embedded via HTML, even if the chat was added outside of the plugin setup process #### 4.0.1 Better wording for the plugin’s “Who Can View the Site-Wide Chat Icon?” setting #### 4.0.0 Version 4.0 of our plugin has arrived!

If you want more compatibility with profile photos, feel free to contact @Minnit on Twitter — we’re always happy to make our plugin even better! #### 3.3.1 Single Sign-In tokens will now last up to 12 hours, rather than up to 1 hour. This will help if users leave the page up for an extended period of time before connecting to the chat. #### 3.3.0 The plugin will now utilize LocalStorage to store user’s credentials. See our latest blog post for details: https://blog.minnit.chat/improved-embed-experience-for-organizations/ #### 3.2.8 Updates the floating icon’s design for a more modern look. #### 3.2.7 Allows owners who use “Synchronize SSO Settings” to more easily get their Organization URL. #### 3.2.6 Further enhancements to SSO error reporting. #### 3.2.5 Better error reporting. #### 3.2.4 Makes it easier to synchronize your chat URL with your plugin. #### 3.2.3 Changes the JS variable name of “options” to “minnitChatOptions” to prevent conflicts. #### 3.2.2 Allows WordPress owners to easily access our site by clicking the Author name on plugins page. #### 3.2.1 Improves the backend configuration, and provides built-in tutorials on how to set the chat up without the default Gutenberg editor. #### 3.2.0 Supports Minnit’s upcoming Custom Domains functionality. #### 3.1.0 Prevent some themes, such as Twenty-Twenty, from setting the iframe width to 0 when the page is resized. #### 3.1.0 Support for customized, zero-click SSO.
