Is this already implemented? and how can I access this?

This is the one thing that confounds me. Why can't we have a chat, or at the very least, a section where we can embed our own chat plugin

oy, it looks lie this was under review, then got planned, then (got demoted?) to under review again.:-( I envision this as a separate tab like in Kickstarter and similar, one tab is the (currently only page content) Story and another would be Comments or Chat or Community or Discussion or something. This won't be ready by tomorrow morning, will it?

Would love to see this! We've been embedding a separate chat feature in GiveButter, but would love to see it as part of the side chat with donations :)

Adding an extra boost to this signal. We are using YouTube Live and audience engagement is a part of our event. We are forced to have people watch the event on YouTube Live if they want to participate in the chat and then we will link to the givebutter page for donating and auction info. It would be so awesome if the chat was on the Givebutter page!

It looks like this is planed. Can you give us more information about when?

I recommend GB to my clients, and this comes up every time. PLEASE prioritize this high on the list. :-)

Ability to turn on/off chat during event as well.
