I have somewhat answered my own question using one of my test sites.
The Barc chat plugin installs and activates on multisite.
I did not try network activating it and probably would not recommend it.
But, I did activate Barc chat for one blog on my network individually and it appears to be working pretty well. I still need to try activating it on more than one blog and see how that goes.
HTH
Hey snowboardmommy, you can also add other site’s chat room to another site in the admin panel where you can add another chat room 🙂
