Turn on/off the widget on demand
To turn on/off the widget at any moment:
- In the Console, go to the 'Widget' section;
- Locate and select the widget which you want to turn off;
- Click on the toggle to turn the widget on or off (it turns on or off the widget instantly, no need to save your changes).
Notes:

- Users that are chatting at the moment the widget is turned off can continue the conversation, as long as they don't refresh the website.
- The widget schedule (below) takes priority over this on-demand toggle, meaning that the toggle will only have an effect if the widget is scheduled to be on.
- If you try to turn on the widget when it's scheduled to be off, the widget won't turn on. You'll need first to remove or update the schedule.
