chat window

Online dialogue pane

A chat window is the interface panel where text-based conversations appear in messaging applications, websites, or software.

It displays the exchange of messages between participants, typically with a text input field at the bottom: A chat window popped up asking if I needed help.

Customer service chat windows have become standard on commercial websites.
