Google Chat (replacing Google Hangouts) cannot be found as on option for the Opera sidebar.
You can however manually add it like so (as a webpage and not an extension):
- In Opera, go to this "address": opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel
- Enable the option "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" (should be highlighted like shown below)
- Close and Restart the Opera browser (there should be a Relaunch button visible in the lower right corner)
- Right click the Sidebar now, select "Sidebar setup...".
- In the opening panel, scroll down to "Custom site panels" and select "Add custom site panel" and paste this link and click the "Create" button:
https://mail.google.com/chat/u/0/#chat/welcome
The Google chat icon should now show in the sidebar and you should be good to go ...
