You can turn Chat on or off at any time.
Many creators grow a loyal audience through live chat, while many others turn Chat off to focus solely on the audio. Whichever requirement you have, it's easy to update your chat settings to suit your event needs.
This article will show you how to update your Channel’s default chat settings.
Head to your Creators dashboard > Settings > Live events.
Scroll down to the Event chat section. Here you'll be able to see whether your chat is currently on or off.
Turn Chat on or off
By default, Chat is enabled on all channels.
Turn Chat OFF
Check the Disable chat box
Select Save
Turn Chat ON
Uncheck the Disable chat box
Select Save
If you find yourself frequently turning Chat on and off, it might be easier to leave Chat turned ON as the default Channel setting and you can always turn it off directly from your broadcast screen the next time you go live.
Enable GIFs
You can also enable GIFs to be posted in your event chat on this page. Your GIFs setting can only be updated if Chat is turned on.
Turn GIFs OFF
Uncheck the box for GIFs in chat enabled
Select Save
Turn GIFs ON
Check the box for GIFs in chat enabled
Select Save
When GIFs are enabled, you and your listeners will be able to post GIFs in the chat by selecting the GIF icon in the chat window.
