  I want to add live chat to my website. Does my free blog support such feature and does word press have any recommendations for plugins that enable live chat on my website for free/low fee?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  There are many live chat plugins, but they only exist with wordpress.org (self-hosted) not wordpress.com

  For a quick run down on the differences, click here

  You can view a quick WordPress.org live chat tutorial here and here

  If you do indeed decide that this is a feature you must have, you’ll have to create a wordpress.org site (you can of course easily export your existing site to a new site)

  @avirosen1938 While we cannot install plugins here on WordPressdotcom, we do have a Tlk.io chat widget that can be used.

  More information about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tlk-io-widget/

  Let us know if you need more help on that.
