Room Moderation & Hosting

Hosts run the show in your rooms, ensuring that everything operates safely and smoothly. To do so, hosts have access to more features than regular room members, such as going live on stage, posting media and links, managing room settings, and more.  

 TIP: Hosts can make changes to the room that may override the room’s creator, so be sure to choose hosts with caution.

 Hosts

When creating a room, you will automatically be a host of that room. You can choose to add more hosts when creating a room, or add them later on. 

How to add a host to your room:

• Enter your room.
• Tap the room's name in the center of your screen.
• Tap "Hosts" to start adding more hosts to the room.
• Tap next to the name of person you would like to add as a host. If they're already a member of the room, they'll automatically be added as a host, otherwise they'll have to accept your host invitation.

Removing a host 

• Enter your room.
• Tap the room's name in the center of your screen.
• Tap "Hosts" to manage the hosts of the room.
• Tap next to the name of person you would like to remove as a host.
