What is Facebook live chat?

Facebook live chat is a chat system, which allows you to instantly communicate with your website visitors via instant messaging. The chat simply appears within their browser window, and your customer/visitor can chat with an operator by typing into the live chatbox. Facebook live chat is only available for business accounts, so you  have to make a business account first.
