Q: Do I need Pusher?
A: No. Messaging works out of the box: without a realtime driver the messenger keeps itself in sync on its own. Add Pusher or any Pusher-compatible server (Ably, self-hosted Soketi) in the Admin CP for delivery in about a second and for voice and video calls.
Q: Does it replace XenForo conversations?
A: It builds on them. Every message stays in XenForo's own direct message tables; the add-on keeps small side tables for its extras (pins, call history, preferences). Disable it and the native inbox shows every conversation intact.
Q: Will it fit my style?
A: Yes. The interface is built from native XenForo components and style properties only, so it follows light, dark and third-party styles.
Q: What do calls need?
A: A realtime driver (Pusher or compatible) for ringing and signalling. Audio and video go straight between the two browsers. For members on strict mobile networks, add a TURN server in the options.
Q: I run 1.x. How do I upgrade?
A: Install the 2.0.0 archive over it from the Admin CP. Conversations, call history, pins, mutes and preferences are kept.
