To send a message in a room while watching content:

To filter chat messages:

If you're in a public room, you can choose who you would like to see chat messages from.

• Enter a public room.
• From the message bar, tap in the lower right corner.
• Choose who you'd like to show chat messages from:
  • Show All Messages
  • Only Hosts Messages
  • Only Followers Messages
  • Only Following Messages
  • Only Your Messages
  • Hide All Messages
• Once selected, you'll be viewing chat messages from whoever you selected. 

To disable the chat filter:

• From the public room you were just in, tap in the lower right corner of the message bar.
• Tap "Show All Messages."
• Once selected, you will no longer be filtering any chat messages. 

 To clear the chat history:

If you're a host in a public room, or a member in a private room, you have the ability to clear the entire chat history for the rest of the room. Try following these steps below:

• Enter the room where you'd like to clear the chat history.
• Tap on the room’s name in the center of the screen.
• Tap "More", then "Edit Room Settings."
• Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap “Delete Room History.”
• If you're sure you'd like to clear the entire room history for everyone, tap "Clear History," and all messages and media will be deleted.

TIP: Anyone who enters the room can see the text chat.
