Is it any way ( even if require l lot of work ) to use mattermost as controls in existing app?  
strongly say I need only channel control maybe even without headers, since my app will handle it own

I want to show chat panel for some context with dynamic channels  
iframe integration is not good decision since it allow navigating inside

Hi @mogadanez,

Would you be open to taking a look at this documentation if it helps: [https://docs.mattermost.com/integrations/embedding.html](https://docs.mattermost.com/integrations/embedding.html)?

I seen it, and options suggested there is not what I’m looking for.

Iframe is closest, but not works for me,  
I not want to use fully functional mattermost UI, stronly say i need just chat panel and own routing  
for example imagine that I have some own hierarchy structure in My product ( for example Customer, Project etc. ) I want to show only relative chat panel per each entity without full mattermost UI
