Hi Vinay,

Greetings to you!

Salesforce Live Agent is a native Salesforce tool that provides the ability to communicate in real-time with your website users. Using Live agent, Service representatives can directly chat with customers and resolve the customer issue. 

Omni-Channel offering from Service cloud is a promising product and it can automatically route records to agents in the queue on basis of incoming case complexity and workload of agents. Omni-Channel uses queue and routing settings to make sure that work goes to an agent who’s a good fit.

Live Agent is powered by Live Agent Configurations, which control the behaviors and settings that are available to Live Agent users. Similarly, Omni-Channel uses Presence Configurations to control the behaviors and settings that are available to Omni-Channel users. You can integrate Live Agent with Omni-Channel so chats are routed just like other work items, and you can even use Omni-Channel routing for your chats. Whichever way you use Omni-Channel with Live Agent, your agents are then able to accept or reject chat requests right from the Omni-Channel widget.

When you integrate Live Agent and Omni-Channel, your Live Agent users also become Omni-Channel users, so your chat agents need to be associated with both a Live Agent Configuration and a Presence Configuration.
