This article details instructions on how to manage your chatroom from the control room.

Manage the comments in the chatroom

In the control room of a chatroom-enabled event, the chatroom preview and management options will display on the right side of the player.

 

 

The control room provides different functions for managing the chatroom seen by audiences in the showroom/embed iFrame player:

You can also create polls directly from the control room. For details on Poll management, please refer to Manage Polls while Live.

Global settings

 

  • Timestamp: You can turn on timestamps to show when messages were sent.
