Conversations that stay on track
Chat runs a moderated conversation alongside the stream, where the audience talks to each other as well as to the host. It doesn't wait for an answer from the stage the way a question does, so it runs on its own moderation. Every event decides for itself whether messages are reviewed before they post or after.
Chat built for professional events
Full moderation control
Messages are reviewed before they appear, or allowed to flow freely, and it is a choice per event rather than a setting for the whole account.
Spam & profanity filters
Automatic filtering catches inappropriate content before it reaches the audience.
Pin important messages
A key announcement or a question worth keeping visible is pinned to the top of the chat.
Private moderator notes
Moderators talk to each other without any of it appearing in the public chat.
One chat, on-site and remote
Attendees joining through the onsite app share the same chat as everyone watching remotely, so the room isn't split into two separate conversations.
Private messaging
Alongside the public chat, an attendee can send a private message that only its intended recipient sees, for anything that shouldn't go on screen.
You're always in control
Chat can be screened before it ever reaches the audience, so a sensitive question can be answered without going public. Left open, chat runs live on the viewing page, letting the audience talk to each other and turning silent viewers into something closer to a room.
The bigger picture
Chat is one step on a wider scale. Videosync also takes moderated written questions, runs polls the audience votes in, and lets an attendee raise a hand and speak in their own voice, and the host decides how far any single event goes.

Can messages be reviewed before the audience sees them?
Yes. With pre-moderation, a message is screened before it posts, so a sensitive question can be answered privately instead of appearing on screen. With post-moderation, messages post immediately and a moderator steps in only when needed. The choice is made per event.
What stops inappropriate messages getting through?
Spam and profanity filtering runs automatically and catches inappropriate content before it reaches the audience, on top of whatever moderation the event has set.
Can moderators talk to each other during the event?
Yes, in private moderator notes that never appear in the public chat, so a decision about a message can be agreed without interrupting the conversation.
