## Description

HTML5 Chat allows you to quickly add a live audio and video chat to any WordPress
page or post.

The plugin embeds the HTML5-based chat service from html5-chat.com, without requiring
any technical configuration.
 Once activated, you can insert the chat anywhere using
a simple shortcode.

Key features:
 – Live audio & video chat (HTML5) – Simple shortcode integration –
Customizable width & height – Fullscreen mode support – Admin moderation tools –
CSS customization via admin panel – Works on desktop and mobile browsers

After activation, your chat access credentials are automatically sent to your WordPress
admin email.

Security note:
 Version 1.07 includes a security fix for a stored Cross-Site Scripting(
XSS) vulnerability in shortcode attributes (CVE-2024-12451). Credit: Peter Thaleikis/

### 󠀁[Many features](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/many-features-11/)󠁿

 [glouvin75](https://profiles.wordpress.org/glouvin75/) juillet 12, 2021

Probably too many features: hard to understand all of them. I tried some: got lost
and got support. You will probably get all you need. Do not try to mess too much:
you may be lost.

### 󠀁[Very bad, zero stars! almost a fraud !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-bad-zero-stars-almost-a-fraud/)󠁿

 [andrei2020ro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/andrei2020ro/) janvier 5, 2021

Unfortunately I cannot choose zero stars! 1. no support at all 2. major security
problems 3. no responses at refund requests 4. Full of bugs. instable and unreliable:
one day private chat is working, second day it is not. Some settings will work one
day and the second not But, let’s take them one by one : 1. I had allways 2 active
suport requests (you are not permitted to have more than two active requests but
noone will respond to them). I even deleted my requests and reposted. Almost no 
answer. Just once I got an partial response saying « we’ll check the issue ». That’s
all responses I allways got from support, support is ZERO. ZERO! 2. After i had 
installed the chat i was surprised to see some strangers in my chatroom even it 
was on a test page with nobody having acces. I supposed they are automated test 
users generated automatically by the system so i used to send some test messages
to them in order to check. Someday i got an irritated response from one: why are
you still writing me and what are you doing in my chat? It was supposed to be private.
My jaw dropped on the table. As I found rom the other guy, he was an also cheated
site owner that installed this script on its own server, also got no answers from
developper, no refund, no support, nothing. Also he said to me it wasn’t first time
when he was able to see users from another domains chats in other countries in his
own chat but also thought they are test users as i did. 3. Enraged i had asked for
refund : never received any answer nor the money. This is a fraud 4. I had days 
when some settings were working and other days when they were not, even I did not
alter any setting. This is an distaster and a fraud !!! I would not recommend

### 󠀁[Chat works fine but need improve some options](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chat-works-fine-but-need-improve-some-options/)󠁿

 [freemenn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/freemenn/) avril 20, 2020

The chat works fine. However there should be a way to put advertisin betwean chat
messages. I ask support and they replay fast.They told me i can put the Iframe code
in the news section to show ADV. However it didnt work. Then they say try with shortcode,
and it didn’t work. Then they say i do something wrong and ask account details to
check. Afther i give details i did not hear back from them. Would be fine if this
could be improved.

### 󠀁[Did Not Specify Some Of the Features Needed Custom Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/did-not-specify-some-of-the-features-needed-custom-work/)󠁿

 [datpiff2000](https://profiles.wordpress.org/datpiff2000/) avril 1, 2020

I seen on their website under the demos tab that they offer payperview feature and
it states on the wepage « You can create any chat you need just with playing with
configurations » come to find out that you have to custom order that work and they
charge nearly a $1000. Misleading information. The product is OK not too impressed
but I did like that they offered the feature until I found out they didn’t!
