> ReplyCX will optimize the live chat experience based on your device's screen size; when you use a device with at least 1440px of width, all sections are displayed.

> A screen size of 1280 - 1440 pixels allows you to collapse the contact column for a more concise view, while below 1080px collapses both conversation list and contacts.
