First of all, thanks for this component. It looks great.

I tested FreiChat with the latest WAMPServer, Joomla 5.2.9.

Some remarks about FreiChat
- the video plugin is not working with FireFox / it is working with Google Chrome (mentioned before in this Forum)
- in Google Chrome in the chat room, when I like to add a line and clicking on the comment line, Chat room is closing. When clicking on "insert smily", I can add text and send it. In FireFox, no problems.

For our my website, I would be great if there is the possibility tho have a chat room for an ACL group. Now you can only make a chat room make available for Guest Access and User Access.

Please keep up the good work :o)

I mean the line where you put the text to send.
Sorry, but can't find the autoclose option for the chatroom....
Thanks....

You will find the autoclose option in freichat backend -> chat room settings -> additional options (tab)
