Move your chatter anywhere it belongs
Bottom, side, or responsive — remembered per user and per form type, resizable, collapsible, and standardized team-wide by your admin.
Odoo pins the chatter to one fixed spot, forcing constant scrolling on dense forms like sales orders, project tasks, and CRM opportunities. Every free positioning app resets on reload — no per-user memory, no admin default, and no way to standardize a layout across a team.
Flexible Chatter Pro lets each user pick bottom, side, or responsive placement from one topbar control, previews the result before it is applied, then remembers the choice per user and per form type — while admins set system-wide and per-form defaults so every new user starts with a layout that already works.
Everything competitors split across three price tiers
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Bottom, Side, or Responsive
Switch the chatter's position instantly from the form header — no page reload, no lost place in the record.
Preview Before You Commit
See a live thumbnail of Bottom, Side, and Responsive layouts in the position menu before you apply the change, so the first choice is the right one.
Remembers Every Choice
Your position, width, and collapsed state persist globally and per form type, so contacts can sit side-docked while sales orders stay at the bottom — automatically, every session.
Admin-Set Team Defaults
Administrators configure a system-wide default and a distinct default per form type, so every new user starts with a sensible layout with zero setup.
Resize, Collapse, Fullscreen
Drag the side chatter to the width you want, collapse it to a thin bar to reclaim space, or expand it fullscreen to focus on a busy conversation.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Alt+Shift+B/S/R jump between bottom, side, and responsive; Alt+Shift+C and Alt+Shift+F toggle collapse and fullscreen — all without touching the mouse.
Pin Important Messages
Pin any message to the top of the conversation so critical context never gets buried under a long history — visible to every follower on the record.
True Mobile Responsiveness
Side layouts gracefully fall back to bottom placement on tablets and phones, so the chosen layout stays usable on any screen.
Community and Enterprise Ready
Built on core mail and web APIs only, so it installs cleanly on both Odoo Community and Enterprise without extra dependencies.
How it works
Open the position menu
Click the layout icon in any chatter topbar to open the position control.
Pick a layout
Preview bottom, side, or responsive, then choose the one that fits the form.
Fine-tune it
Resize the side panel, collapse it, or go fullscreen — your choice is remembered per form type.
Standardize for the team
Admins set system-wide and per-form defaults from Settings so every user starts right.
See it in action
From admin defaults to the live position menu, see how Flexible Chatter Pro fits every form.
Administrators configure a default position and width for each form type — Contacts, Companies, Users, and more — from one list.
Every user's own per-form-type memory lives in My Chatter Preferences, so the layout that fits each record type is never lost.
With the chatter positioned and collapsed the way each user prefers, dense forms like Contacts stay clean and focused.
The Settings screen exposes the default position, default width, keyboard shortcuts toggle, and message pinning switch — all in one place.
The topbar position menu shows a live preview of Bottom, Side, and Responsive layouts plus a width slider, collapse, and fullscreen controls — and a link to set the choice as your default everywhere.
Frequently asked
Does this work on Odoo Community and Enterprise?
Yes. Flexible Chatter Pro only uses core mail and web APIs, so it installs and behaves identically on both editions.
Will my layout choice reset when I log out?
No. Your position, width, and collapsed state are saved per user, both globally and per form type, so they are exactly as you left them next time you sign in.
Can an administrator set a default layout for the whole team?
Yes. Administrators can set one system-wide default and a separate default per form type from Settings, so every user starts with a sensible layout with no configuration of their own.
Does pinning a message affect other users?
Yes. Pinning is shared, record-level state visible to every follower on that record, so a pinned message stays at the top of the conversation for the whole team, not just for you.
