tlk.io is a simple chat page that you can embed on your site. If all you are seeing is a blank screen, I may have a fix for it. I don’t think it’s documented anywhere. I did not see it on tlk.io’s website. Here’s the code that they want you to embed. Of course, you have to use your own data-channel instead of the default “hey.”
<div id="tlkio" data-channel="hey" style="width:100%;height:400px;"></div> <script async="" src="http://tlk.io/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script> |
The above code will not work if your site is secured via SSL. You’ll need to change the embed.js reference to https. In this case, it would be something like this.
<div id="tlkio" data-channel="hey" style="width:100%;height:400px;"></div> <script async="" src="https://tlk.io/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script> |
The code will work in WordPress as well.
Good timing. With Google killing Hangouts, I need to move my friends and family off it and go somewhere else.
I have been thinking about something self hosted on my WordPress site…..
There’s quite a few. Chatango and Twitch seems to be popular. tlk.io is decent.
