We currently deploy hubspot chat using Google Tag Manager, is it possible to stop the chat from firing on mobile devices or screen sizes that are smaller then a certain size?
The hubspot chat icon is hovering over our profile menu button and therefore customers cannot click on their profile to see their previous orders.
If there is a way to hide it or ideally, move it a bit higher up the screen that would be great.
Hi all, the GTM solution is neat but I think it's way an overkill for something that should be an embedded configuration option. Now we can choose right or left for placement but it's for all. My mobile and desktop pages don't look the same and therefore left works for one but not for the other.
I would highly recommend you to please post this product suggestion at our ideas forum.
Our product team, who monitors the forum regularly, can read your specific use case and understand why this would be a useful functionality or change. It also helps other customers facing the same issue to advocate for its implementation on your behalf by upvoting on the thread as well.
Thank you,
Kristen

I wanted to refer you to this related thread. I believe you would need to deploy custom CSS (media queries) or Javascript to hide or move the chat on mobile.
I'll add some of our top contributors to our conversation
Currently, the chat on mobile has no x out feature. You can reload the page all you want, but if you click into the chat, there is no way to x out of it. Any suggestions?
Thanks for a great solution for hiding Live Chat on mobile devices. I have a question about it.
Our HubSpot custom HTML tag in Google Tag Manager is a script loader tag that loads more than just Live Chat. It also loads HubSpot analytics and ads tracking.
So if I add this trigger it will block more than just Live Chat on mobile; it will also block HubSpot analytics and ads tracking for mobile.
Is there a way to implement this solution that will hide Live Chat on mobile, but not block everything else?
Indeed if you prevent the script to fire using this technique, you will also prevent all hubspot tracking scripts to run, which to me leaves only one solution : to hide the chat via CSS.
You should be able to target this by using this bit of css :
Thanks very much for the clarification and for the CSS alternative. Very helpful!
Now our team will need to decide whether to sacrifice HubSpot analytics on mobile for faster page loading. It would be nice if we could just turn OFF Live Chat for mobile without turning off analytics, but that's a whole separate discussion.
