No chat in iframe

Hey everyone, I have a question about the Salesforce chatter Chat tool in the bottom right. The /apex/ page shows the content, and also the chat box. But it won't show when include an iframe on my actual site.

 

I notice I can set whether it's enabled or not on the apex page code " <apex:page showChat="true" showHeader="false" sidebar="false"> ". How do I achieve this? Do I need to include some sort of apex code in the page block?

 

Our company wants to switch to using the chat in salesforce, inside of an already built interface for managing data. We're not able to use salesforce completely, so I'm creating a slideout which will show a simple view of the chatter feed, and allow use of the chat.

Hi Helius, 

 

Salesforce does not recommend usage of iframe due to performance and chat does not appear as it would ideally look for a chat tool in every frame.

Thanks, how about this -

 

Is it possible to place the popup-chat window button into apex? This way, we can just have the user click on the pop-out chat button and call it a day.
