What is a WordPress webcam video chat?
A WordPress webcam video chat is a feature that lets your visitors chat live, webcam on, directly from a page or post on your site — without leaving WordPress or going through a separate app.
With the Dialogoo plugin, this feature is added in minutes: the chat itself — rooms, multi-webcam video, moderation — stays hosted and managed by Dialogoo, while the plugin simply embeds it cleanly into your WordPress site.
How the WordPress integration works
Three ways to add webcam video chat to your site, all configurable from the same plugin settings screen:
| Method | Where it shows up | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| [dialogoo_chat] shortcode | Any page or post | Embedding chat into an existing page |
| Dedicated page (one-click) | A new page, full screen or not | A "Live Chat" link in your menu |
| Floating bubble | Sitewide, as an overlay | Always-visible access to chat |
Dialogoo WordPress plugin features
Everything is configured from Settings → Dialogoo Chat, no code required:
- Multi-user webcam video chat — rooms with several active webcams at once, private messaging, and moderation.
- Full screen mode — a dedicated page with no theme header or footer, just the chat.
- Floating bubble — sitewide access to chat without touching any page content.
- "Create a page with the chat" button — a page published automatically, nothing to write yourself.
- No maintenance on the WordPress side — the chat, webcams, and rooms are hosted and updated by Dialogoo.
Adding webcam video chat to WordPress: the checklist
Five steps to get chat live on your site:
- Create a free Dialogoo account
- Grab your Site Key from My chat → Integration
- Install the Dialogoo Chat plugin on your WordPress site
- Paste your Site Key into Settings → Dialogoo Chat
- Add [dialogoo_chat] to a page, or use the "Create a page with the chat" button
Need more than WordPress?
The same webcam video chat also works outside WordPress: a direct link, a floating JavaScript widget, a full-screen iframe, or automatic sign-in (SSO) for visitors already identified on your own site.

FAQ
Is the WordPress plugin free?
Yes, the plugin itself is free. You'll need a Dialogoo account (free or paid plan, depending on your needs) to activate the chat.
Do I need to know how to code to install it?
No — install it from the WordPress plugin directory or by uploading the .zip, then paste a Site Key into the settings. No code to write.
Does the webcam chat work on mobile?
Yes, the chat and webcam video adapt to mobile screens, as long as the visitor allows camera access in their browser.
Can I show the chat full screen?
Yes — the plugin has a per-page full screen mode that hides the theme header and footer, leaving just the chat.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi, or Gutenberg?
Yes — the [dialogoo_chat] shortcode works anywhere a standard WordPress shortcode works, including inside page builders.
