Community Guidelines

Things we encourage.

Make all Airtimers feel welcome.

• When someone comes into a room, say hello. When a host goes live, throw a reaction or say something encouraging in the chat. Welcome people like you would in a real-life community.
• Check in with people in your rooms to make sure everyone is feeling good. If someone doesn’t know what’s going on, lend a helping hand and explain it to them. We’re all part of the Airfam here.
• Treat Airtimers like they’re part of your community. Because they are! Be respectful, be compassionate, be welcoming.

Create rooms around things you really care about.

• You have passions. Let them fuel your Airtime rooms. You’ll attract people who share that passion. And that’s what Airtime’s for!
• People want to rally around something that they love. So when you’re creating a room, pick something that you love to be the topic. That’s how you’ll create the most vibrant, engaged communities.

Participate and engage.

• Chime in, speak up, show some love. We give you the tools, like emojis and reactions. Use them! Airtime communities thrive when people participate in real time.
• We encourage you to show up and be present. How you do that is up to you. Whether it’s video, audio, or chat, we want you to be an active participant on Airtime. Try raising your hand! Request to go live on stage and experience the thrill of coming alive with other people in your room.
• In rooms, your energy goes a long way. Give off good vibes with good intentions.

Speak up for yourself and others.

• If you see something that goes against our principles, guidelines, or values, speak up, regardless of whether it affects you directly or indirectly.
• If something doesn’t feel right to you, do something about it! Report bad behavior or bad actors, and get in touch with support if something is making you feel uncomfortable. For a full list of our moderation tools and how to use them, click here.
