Embeddable overlay chat for websites

I want to create embeddable HTML/JS code that would add a chat feature to a website.

Preferably, the chat should be "overlaid" over the rest of the website (like facebook/google hangouts chatboxes).

I know of QuickBlox: it provides a chat feature in javascript but I will have to write the UI code by hand.

Even some pointers on how to get it done is greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I found services like: zopim, zoho chat and others. It seems pretty common. Is there a library (like on github) for such services?

EDIT:

I want to implement multiple chat boxes. I cannot find a out of the box solution to this, but I am thinking of combining the backend of QuickBlox with some javascript (jQuery probably) front-end to communicate with the QuickBlox library. Are any of these useful? Or anything else I could follow to make one myself.

Considering the fact that this is very easy doable with CSS and that you probably want to style the box anyways, I would not recommend using somthing external here. You just need to set the div which contains to position: fixed and then you can control where it appears with bottom: 0 and right: 0 to put it in the bottom right corner for example. Then give it a z-index: 100 for example and you are done with a basic overlay.
