The Chat add-on uses MongoDB to store information and messages, so you need to download and install it. More details here.
Install Chat add-on with the command: addon install exo-chat. The installation procedure is the same to that of other add-ons, as detailed in Installing/Uninstalling add-ons, Administrator Guide.
Note
By default, a

When users sign in eXo Platform, the Chat icon (
