Live Agent deletes the selected conversation history.

## Enable Agent Masking in Conversations

If you don't want the end user to see the name and image of the human agent in the chat, ask your administrator to enable the **Agent masking** option in the Account Settings.

Activating the **Enable Agent masking** setting masks all agent's personal information, such as name, email, and profile images. For example, the agent name **Max Mustermann** would turn into **Agent x4gH5tZ**. Only the agent himself can see the clear name.
Only the agent can see the original name, so there's no way for anyone else in your organization or the end user to link the masked name to a real human agent.

For more information, read the [Account Settings](/live-agent/settings/account-settings) documentation.

## Expand or Collapse the Chat Area

To change the size of the conversation chat area, select one of the following options:

* To expand the chat area, click <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cognigy-15abf2ba/I0ba9I1paCAUpGLP/_assets/icons/black-and-white/expand.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=I0ba9I1paCAUpGLP&q=85&s=7a0fba0ebd6802c64c3203cdb99fa3fd" alt="expand" width="20" height="20" data-path="_assets/icons/black-and-white/expand.svg" /> in the upper-left corner of the chat screen.
* To collapse the chat area, click <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cognigy-15abf2ba/TTEslzNwYb1tMNix/_assets/icons/blue/collapse.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=TTEslzNwYb1tMNix&q=85&s=e1ee93c1977e403c485e4b4f15f595cb" alt="collapse" width="18" height="18" data-path="_assets/icons/blue/collapse.svg" /> in the upper-left corner of the chat screen.

This feature can be particularly useful if you want to use the [Agent Copilot](/live-agent/assistants/agent-copilot) workspace within your conversation.
