All visitors of the website can chat with the support staff, currently me, but the visitors can not see each other's messages or communicate with each other. I looked around on the internet for a tutorial that goes through this but all were for communication amongst all the users like in a group chat like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxzOqP9YwmM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxzOqP9YwmM</a> . However, I need to build one in which they can all individually only message me and can not read each other's messages or message each other, and I can reply to each message individually. Could you please link a tutorial that walks me through this or the code for such an app so that I can understand the code?</p> help javascript webdev node Eric Kole Sun, 28 Jun 2020 16:51:57 +0000 https://dev.to/erickole/is-there-a-tutorial-to-build-a-support-live-chat-for-a-website-using-socket-io-15ln https://dev.to/erickole/is-there-a-tutorial-to-build-a-support-live-chat-for-a-website-using-socket-io-15ln <p>I would like to add a support live chat web app to my website using socket.io, mainly focused on new users who have specific questions or feedback about my product.
