Recommended Browser requirements:
LiveAgent runs on all major browsers. For the best security and functionality, keep your web browser up to date. All modern browsers should update automatically. The minimum browser requirements are:

• LiveAgent admin / agent panel
  • Microsoft Edge - latest two versions
  • Google Chrome - latest two versions
  • Safari - latest two versions
  • Opera - latest two versions
  • Mozilla Firefox - latest two versions
• LiveAgent widgets and visitor pages
  • We try to keep the backward compatibility of our widgets also for older versions, so your customers will be able to reach your support team even from older browsers. Anyhow, since version 5.26 we no longer support our widgets in IE11 and we recommend using other browsers.
  • In case you observe any issue, let us know via support@liveagent.com
