| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | KeithR | 7/10/12 6:06 PM | The chatback badge is no longer supported and will soon be turned off. Google recommends that you use the Meebo bar instead. See the Official Google Blog. |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | ukgeek | 7/11/12 12:35 AM | Thanks for trying to help but that's the button you can add to a webpage, I'm talking about the google talk web client, see this page http://www.google.com/talk/start.html |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | KeithR | 7/11/12 2:46 AM | OK. Can you use Chat from the Gmail page? What type of device are you using to start at this page? |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | ukgeek | 7/11/12 2:53 AM | My gtalk account is working fine with gmail and pidgin, so I don't think it's an account issue, also I don't think it's a device issue as it doesn't work from chrome on windows, internet explorer, or any IOS device. |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | KeithR | 7/11/12 2:59 AM | Sure, I was just trying to get a handle on why you would would want to start chat from that page instead of one of the standard product pages. I'll see if I can get a statement on why that button is no longer working. |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | KeithR | 7/11/12 3:09 AM | I noticed that the Launch Google Talk button opens the Help Article titled Ways to Access Chat so I'm guessing that the current behaviour is intentional. I included the suggestion to the Team that this is way, way too subtle. Will let you know if I |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | kittyplayhouse | 7/11/12 7:31 AM | Hello, I have been using meebo for chat. I just added the "chatback" badge to my website, but it doesn't seem to work. A chat window does not pop up for visitors, goes directly to a support page. Anyone find a solution to this problem yet please? I s |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | KeithR | 7/11/12 6:56 PM | @kittyplayhouse, please go back, you are heading in the wrong direction. Please read my first post in this thread. |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | kittyplayhouse | 7/13/12 10:48 AM | Thanks for your reply Keith, meebo was discontinued. FYI: here is a much better free web chat than meebo: https://chat.zoho.com/login.jsp?serviceurl=%2Fmpchat.do King |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | drm1234567890 | 7/14/12 12:30 PM | I have been seeing this for weeks now (and the same thing when I try to use group chat). I have been searching and searching through help but haven't found anything useful. Any info would be greatly appreciated. |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | KeithR | 7/14/12 2:28 PM | Meebo.com was discontinued, but the Meebo bar continues to be available. |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | Cody Bratt | 7/23/12 1:40 PM | Hi Folks, Thanks for your reports and troubleshooting here. Our apologies around the confusion of us sunsetting the Google Talk Gadget. The redirect to the Help Center is actually not intentionally and is definitely confusing. We're working to make t |
| Re: talkgadget has stopped working | kmpeterson | 7/28/12 1:26 PM | Hi Cody, Thanks for your reply on this thread... I understand that chatback is gone - that was announced very recently. You talked about the "confusion of us sunsetting the Google Talk Gadget" - I haven't been able to find an announcement that this |
