Looking for community feedback to help settle an internal UX debate. What are your thoughts on these two potential contextual chat/comments UI designs?

Which layout is better the "overlay" or the "below"?

Hard to say without using application itself and how important that form is, but I would say second option feels more natural. Anyway in both cases you need to do an action to access form (toggle or close overlay). Just choose whichever and test another option on real users.
