    'position': 'positionTextController.text'
};

Livechat.embeddedChat(

Livechat.chatEvents.listen((event) {
  print(event);
});

For specific events, you can stream:

New Messages:

Livechat.newMessages.listen((message) {
  print(message); 
});

Visibility Changes:

Livechat.visibilityChanges.listen((isVisible) {
  print("Chat Window is visible: $isVisible");
});

Errors:

Livechat.errors.listen((error) {
  print("Error: ${error['errorDescription']}");
});

Uri handling:

Livechat.uriHandlers.listen((message) {
  print(message); 
});

File picker activity:

Livechat.filePickerActivity.listen((message) {
  print(message); 
});

Window initialization:

Livechat.windowInitialized.listen((message) {
  print(message); 
});
