You have three options to use your hosted solution for Instant Chat.

Option 1

The customer clicks a link on a channel form built into your website. To create a custom channel form, you can use the code for Custom Live Support Forms with self-hosted Instant Chat found in the Administration Center on the Channels tab, and a customized version of the Instant Chat stylesheet (InstantChat.css).

Option 2

The customer enters a PIN in a field built into your site. To create a custom PIN entry form, you can use the code for Custom logmein123.com form with self-hosted Instant Chat found in the Administration Center on the Resources tab, and a customized version of the Instant Chat stylesheet (InstantChat.css).

The customer sees the customized Instant Chat interface as an integrated part of your site.
