It is worth noting, that I was getting auth errors till I reliased, I was sending to a channel that did not have the (in this case) panel in an active slot.

Please check that the extension version you are testing with

  • Has chat capabilities enabled
  • that version is installed
  • that version is active in one of the six slots
