There are a few ‘chat box’ type plugins for WP. There is little point in adding one to SP. That is the beauty of the plugin system.

We prefer to use our precious development time working on features that are not already available. And chat boxes are already available

But if someone else would like to take this on as a plugin for V5 integration then of course we would be interested.
