SpaceBay Pro is an add-on. If the free plugin is missing or too old, Pro shows a notice asking you to install or update SpaceBay.

Voice and video calls in Pro also need your site to use HTTPS.

See [Compatibility](/spacebay/others/compatibility/) for the themes, plugins and languages SpaceBay was tested with.
