Bring modern social messaging to your XenForo community
Eggy Messenger transforms private communication into a fast, modern and highly interactive experience built directly around your XenForo community.
Members can discover other users, build their friends list, see online presence, start private conversations and keep chatting without leaving the page they are browsing.
With both a full Messenger interface and a convenient popup Messenger, conversations remain only a click away across your community.

Designed Around XenForo
Eggy Messenger uses your existing XenForo members, usernames and avatars, allowing it to feel like part of the community rather than a separate external chat service.
There are no separate Messenger accounts for members to create.
Chat Without Leaving the Conversation
Members can open the compact Messenger while browsing other areas of your site, allowing conversations to continue naturally without constantly moving between pages.
For users who prefer a larger interface, the dedicated Messenger page provides a complete conversation experience.
Rich Conversations
Messages can go far beyond plain text.
Members can use emoji, GIFs, images, attachments and reactions to create a communication experience much closer to modern social and messaging platforms.
Friends & Presence
Messenger adds a social layer to your community with friends, friend requests, member discovery and presence information.
Instead of private messages feeling isolated from the rest of the community, members can build and maintain their own network of contacts.
Audio & Video Calling
Eggy Messenger includes support for one-to-one WebRTC audio and video calling.
For reliable calling across different networks, a suitable STUN/TURN/ICE configuration may be required on your server.
Responsive & Mobile Friendly
Messenger is designed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile devices so members can stay connected wherever they use your community.
