Описание тега livechat

Live chat is software or web widget which allows users to communicate with each other, or with an administrator in real time.

Usually, live chat software performs constant asynchronous requests to the server in order to constantly keep the messages and the status up to date.

There are live chat instances where more than 2 users can communicate - usually these are called Chat Rooms. Also, a wide-spread alternative of live chat is the Video Chat - this is live chat, which works together with video broadcasting, sent and received simultaneously from each user.
