Haven't used one Dex, but we were looking at this for a client at one stage.

www.livezilla.net/home/en/

And it's free! Amazing.. LOL

It's not an extension, but could easily be setup in a custom module.
Now Retired but still interested...

Top tip Ric thanks - there's already a joomla extension for this.
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/communi...support-hosted/13754

I might give it a burl.

I've had a lot of success with Skype as you can share your desktop or view your clients - res is low but you still get the job done.

You can setup on your Joomla site an icon that shows if you are online and allows your clients to click on it to contact you
There are extensions for this too

Wow, that's a good idea. For me. Altho I tried it once and it didnt work out, doubtless it got better since then.

However, my client needs a proper Live Support window that looks professional, so I'm running with option (a) for that case.

Dex here. I lurk in the background, pretending to fix things. Ask me if you need help.

OK I installed LiveZilla and the Joomla module for it. It took a coupla hours to fully set up and document - it needs its own DB and there are also security issues to deal with. And a fair amount of configuration.

Anyhow, on first inspection it does look very good. Once it's set up, it looks pretty simple to run.
