What is the STREAMBOXY Chat?


Using the Chat feature you are able to communicate with other participants during a Session using text messages.

Speaker Features


As a speaker, you have the following options for action in addition to the functions for participants:



Deleting any Messages

As a speaker you can delete messages from any person by clicking on "Delete message" below the reactions opening when clicking on the three dots of the respective message. After deletion, your message disappears for all participants. 

Your own messages are the messages centered on the right side of the chat panel. 




Chat Settings

Unlike the participants, you as the instructor have access to the chat settings, which open as a window when you click on the cog to the right of the emojis. 

Here you have further options for action.




Participants may send messages to:


1. None

If the "None" option is selected, the chat is locked for participants. Participants can thus follow the chat history, but cannot write their own messages or reply to messages. However, reactions are possible.

2. Speakers only

If "Speakers only" is selected, participants can only send messages to instructors.


3. Speakers or All

If "Speakers or All" is selected, participants can decide independently whether to send messages to all participants or only to instructors.


You yourself, as a speaker, can always decide independently whether you want to reach all participants in the chat or only the (other) speakers. You set this via the drop-down field, here you choose between "All" and "Speakers only  ".


"All" is selected by default.
