# Real-Time Presence Chat

Presence Chat allows Slate users who are looking at the same page to chat internally with each other from within Slate.

## Communicating with Presence Chat

When another user is viewing the same internal Slate page, you will see an avatar.

To chat with this user, select their avatar. A chat window appears.

Enter a message in the chat and hit `return`.

> [!WARNING]
> 📝 Chat history between users is not saved.

## Requires push notifications

The chat window only appears if both users in the conversation have enabled browser push notifications.

Without browser push notifications, the chat window will not pop up to the receiving party upon receiving a first message.

Additionally, you will only see users who are actively touching the record. If they are recently idle, their avatar will appear blurred.
