If everything is fine in the diagnostic tools, but chat windows remains empty: it can be a Websocket issue.Since Peertube version 5.0.0, there are some additional configuration to do onthe server side.Check withtheinstance administrators that they did not forgot to apply changes listed in the [Peertube v5.0.0 release notes](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v500).
If youcan't fix this immediatly, youcan disable Websocket by unchecking "{{% livechat_label disable_websocket_label %}}" in the plugin setting page.In such case, you should also check "{{% livechat_label federation_dont_publish_remotely_label %}}", as chat federation won't work without Websocket.
