chatboxes

Digital conversation panels

Chatboxes is the plural of chatbox, a small window or interface for exchanging text messages in real time.

Chatboxes appear on websites for customer service, in video games for player communication, and in applications where users need quick text-based interaction: Three chatboxes popped up the moment I landed on the support page.
