Workarounds
here is some old version code. (slightly edited for reading ease)

<embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?ZZNjBKiApG" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="190" height="275"></embed>

this is the new version code as provided by meebo (slightly edited in the same way as above)
[[embed]]
<embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?hmotynVUDQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="190" height="275"></embed>

The fix
with the non working code eg:
embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?hmotynVUDQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="190" height="275"
add to it
wmode="transparent"
So it looks like this
embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?hmotynVUDQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="190" height="275"
Resulting code (in its entirety) should look like:
[[embed]]
<!-- Beginning of meebo me widget code.

<embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?hmotynVUDQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="190" height="275"></embed>

Could not get this to work with meebo chatroom.
Alternatively you can use iframe embedding and host the page at some other server.
You don't need to host a Meebo Chatroom on another server, it works well on Wikidot using a codeblock/iframe combination as follows:
codeblock
On the page where you want your meebo chatroom, put the code inside [[code type="html"]].. [[/code]] tags as follows, making sure you also add the<html> and </html> tags:
iframe
Then underneath the codeblock, on the same page, add an iframe referring to the codeblock above. Replace YOURSITE with the name of your site, and YOURPAGE with the name of the page the codeblock and iframe are on. If the codeblock is the first or only codeblock on that page then use /code/1, if it's the second use /code/2 and so on
The result is:

Exactly the same result is also possible using James' wizard at http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:iframe-embed which produces the following code which you just put on your page:

Yeah did found out, you could also upload a html file to wikidot and use iframe.
Here I make a new page called chat in wikidot and upload a file called chatroom.htm. Then I edit the chat page and put this code and save it.
