Randy Calvert Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 There is nothing built in any longer. However there are some different third party resources such as a few found at: https://invisioncommunity.com/search/?&q=Chat&type=downloads_file&search_and_or=or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hi @Peak Test, We do have something called Live Topics coming soon as announced in our December 2022 Chat. Whilst I cannot confirm an exact date of when this will be available, it is planned for 2023 (we are currently working on other awesome projects though, such as the Gallery overhaul at the moment).

Based on what has been said previously in the video sessions… users would be able to comment/chat during a live event. Afterwards it would show as a forum topic so the conversation can continue. It sounds something like a Facebook livestream where users comment/chat during a stream, but afterwards it’s turned into a forum thread with all of the messages being made replies. I’ve not seen it first hand. Only describing what I’ve heard about it so far. Edited January 27, 2023 by Randy Calvert SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Do keep your eye on the live chats we have, such as the one on 1st February about our February release. The live topics feature was briefly discussed here. Of course there is more to come on this 🙂 SeNioR- and David N. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More information will be available soon though, I promise. I think you will all love Live Topics. 😉 Marc Stridgen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abobader Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 That bad news start to be normal for self hosting customers. I hope these issue as "Only for cloud customers" change, as now IPS software have like 4 or something features only dedicated to IPS cloud customers, that not good. Please @Matt reconsider these "business" decision you been doing for some years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 It's not what you want to hear, but there are features that cannot be offered to self-hosted clients. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple. Fully understand that. Simply the message here, for self-hosting client, that as future come, you will have less and less features software. No need to reply back Gary, now I am sure we need to look for another software for our forum software. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Not necessarily. We aren't taking things away from the product suite for self-hosted clients. Everyone still has equal access to Forums, Gallery, Blogs, etc. As has been mentioned numerous times, we don't neglect self-hosted clients. The reality is that some features require certain technologies, and it is much better catered for on our Cloud platform. Those on a self-hosted plan unfortunately cannot take advantage of these features, but you still have access to everything else so I'm not sure where the loss is. You need to have something and it taken away from you for it to be lost; Cloud-only features were never available to self-hosted clients. It sucks to hear that, but I wish you all the best with your community. abobader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
