This article gives guidance to Rescue technicians.
Instant Chat allows a support technician to engage in a two-way chat session with a customer without forcing the customer to download any software.

With Instant Chat you lose no functionality, but rather gain the flexibility to use the Rescue Applet or not.
Tip: To open a remote session or troubleshoot the customer's device, prompt the customer to download the Rescue Applet.
Customers have the following capabilities using the
Instant Chat interface in chat-only mode:
- Chat with the technician(s)
- View a detailed session log
- Allow or deny the technician the right to perform certain actions (install the Applet, start remote control)
- End a session by clicking the large X at upper left
- Change the display language using the Language Selector
- Change the display font size
For detailed information on Instant Chat setup and customization, see the Rescue Customization and Integration Guide.
