Installing chat external app in a self-hosted canvas lms

[jatoba]

I'm configuring a self-hosted canvas lms install and need to add the chat feature. According to the documentation this is an external app developed by instructure. I seached in eduApps but doesnt appear available to install. Is the chat app open source??

I strongly support and recommend MirrorFly for its easy API integration to native systems without any additional infrastructure. With this self-hosted chat API, you can enable real-time messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, and other 1000+ features.
