Implemented Disable Chat - IN PROGRESS

[creative3]

Add the ability to disable chat from management.

Please Note. When ver 15.8 sp1 is released we should have the ability to disable chat available.

15.8 looks far away. Is that serious?

 

[techclarity]

Any update on this?

 

[Will Kreutzer]

Anyone reading this from 2020? Still no option to disable chat Globally or on per user basis.

[Blakovisk]

I would like to know also. Still waiting for this feature due to compliance restrictions.

Can see that Disable Chat Functionality it is added in the comming sp5, but ofcurse it can be removed again if technical issues raises during the Betatest.
You will find it in Settings -> PBX Settings (General Options) Allow Chat

 

[Blakovisk]

That's great news Jed. Nice find!

 

[Vali_3CX]

Will be available in SP5 (but I cannot provide you an ETA for it) However, it's implemented and working OK.

 

[CodeTwo]

Great info!

This is a feature that our company has been *patiently* waiting on for several years. We now have a remote office that uses the softphone exclusively and chat is becoming a problem.

Ideally, it would be nice to disable it via group rights or per extension.

 

[mcsantoso]

I agree that it needs to be configured from Group Rights and/or Extension Rights. Definitely need this feature for a several clients.
