## Set Dimension default to the self-hosted Etherpad (optional)
If you decided to install [Dimension integration manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md) alongside with Etherpad,
the Dimension administrator users can configure the default URL template. The Dimension configuration menu can be accessed with the sprocket icon as you begin to add a widget to a room in Element. There you will find the Etherpad Widget Configuration action beneath the _Widgets_ tab. Replace `scalar.vector.im` with your own Dimension domain.

### Removing the integrated Etherpad chat
If you wish to disable the Etherpad chat button, you can do it by appending `?showChat=false` to the end of the pad URL, or the template.
If your Etherpad widget fails to load, this might be due to Dimension generating a Pad name so long, the Etherpad app rejects it.
`$roomId_$padName` can end up being longer than 50 characters. You can avoid having this problem by altering the template so it only contains the three word random identifier `$padName`.
