What can you do with your group chat platform?

What are the most important features to look for in a group chat platform, and what are the benefits? You can use this list as a starting point.

1. User interface for novices

Because we aren’t all digitaly savvy, your group chat should have an admin panel where you can find all of the options and settings you need for your chat.

In addition, the UI should be user-friendly. As a result, if you’re looking for a specific setting, it should be simple to find. Finally, your group chat should have an admin panel.

Chat owners use this to control the chat. This is beneficial to both chatters and chat owners. To fully enjoy their web chatting experience, ensure that it also has a good chat interface.

2. Customization on point

Because you’re using it for a website, it’s preferable if you can match it to the theme of your site. So, a group chat platform should have a variety of themes, skins, and CSS features where you can inject codes to customize your chat.

You should be able to customize your chat font and font size, as well as the background, background color, and other aspects. The options are endless.

If you have more advanced know-how, try your hand at CSS. It can significantly alter the appearance and functionality of your chat and improve your web chatting experience.

Here are some CSS codes for your chat room.

3. Simple to embed on any platform

Select a platform that generates embed codes for you so you don’t have to create your own. Then, to begin chatting, simply copy and paste the code onto your website.

4. A plethora of features

These are just a few of the advantages of using a web chatting platform. When you sign up, you will have access to additional features.

How to include a group chat on your website

The embed code will be generated for you when you sign up for the RumbleTalk platform. It will be easier to embed the platform on your site this way.

As a result, no technical knowledge is required. All you have to do is follow the instructions.

Before generating the code, you can modify the settings, such as the size of your chat. In addition, you have two options for where your chat will appear on your site: Embedded or Floating.

Here’s how they appear. The first is the chat that is embedded.

The floating chat is the second.

NOTE: Because the embedded chat is elastic, it will take up the entire space on your page (anywhere you position it). The floating chat will appear in the left or right corner of your page, not disrupting your chat style.

Include it on any website and use it as an HTML chat or a chat plugin.

Have you been waiting a long time? There’s a new feature available on the RumbleTalk admin panel. It’s called the slow down chat.

Ever thought about limiting messages that come in the chat room? Here’s where the feature shines. Let’s know more about the new feature on the next points.

What is the slow down chat feature?

The slow down chat is a feature that lets you limit the number of messages sent in the chat room. For instance, a user has sent a message in the chat. If you want, you can limit each user to being able to send a message in 5-second intervals. This lets you moderate the chat in a way that not too many messages will come in the chat simultaneously.

How do you set it up?

To set up the feature, you can follow these steps.

1. Sign up to RumbleTalk. Then, login to your admin panel.
2. Go to General > Advanced.
3. Scroll down and click Limit sending of messages every second(s).
4. Set the time interval.

NOTE: You can also enable it for the private chat (in the Group Chat).

Now, the chat will refresh and all messages from non-admin users will have a limit. Admins can still send messages normally.

Why the need to slow down the chat?

The feature can be helpful for the following scenarios:

• Limit the number of spam messages;
• Limit the number of messages a user can send at a time so the chat room will not be full of messages;
• Limit an individual’s sent messages so that others can also insert their opinions;
• Help monitor the chat room as a whole (makes it easier for the admins to moderate the chat).

There are events all year. However, not all businesses are adept at managing events, particularly in the virtual realm. We recall how popular virtual events were at the time. Because everyone else was doing it, even if these people had no experience, others followed because event hosting was the trend.

Although it appeared that many people were getting the hang of it, many of our customers were not. They attempted at first. However, they were not getting the desired results.

We can almost certainly say that if you’re new to virtual events, you’ve made these mistakes as well. And once you’ve realized it, you’ll reflect on all the resources you’ve spent and squandered.

Unless, of course, you discover a way to avoid making these errors.

Forget about all of the trial and error. Instead, keep reading to learn about the top event challenges based on our customers’ experiences.

The first event blunder is organizing the event on your own.

Almost all of our customers held an event without any assistance in the last year. As a result, they had to deal with some difficult issues along the way. Instead of concentrating on their speech, they made an effort to meet the demands of the audience.

This, it turns out, is what causes most events to fail. Even if you’re hosting a small event, enlist the help of some moderators. Everything improves with more hands on deck.

There is no live streaming platform for the event.

If you’ve ever been dissatisfied with the outcome of an event, you’ve probably made this mistake. Instead of relying solely on audio, try using a live streaming platform the next time. Audiences enjoy putting a face to a voice or vice versa.

To add a video to your event, you can use live streaming platforms such as Vimeo, Dacast, or even YouTube. These are simple platforms to install.

Failing to take advantage of chat rooms for events.

What if you have a platform for live streaming? How do you engage your audience? If there isn’t a medium for them, they might as well watch a YouTube video. That is the distinction between a live event and a webcast. Everything happens in real-time.

When a participant visits your website, he will spend a few minutes watching. Following that, he will browse your website to see what you have to offer. When he notices an event chat room, he will be interested. This is how you keep your audience interested. When our customers use our service, the majority of them realize this.

This one isn’t difficult at all. You only need to do a single thing: register for a chat platform. Fortunately, you can sign up for RumbleTalk and immediately embed a chat room.

1. Go to your admin panel after you’ve signed up.
2. On the dashboard, click Embed. There are two options: embedded or floating.
3. Get your code and paste it in the same place where you’ll be live streaming.

You now have a medium through which you can interact with your audience and potential customers. When combined with the three elements listed above, you will be able to successfully host any event.

We’ve discovered that some people find these extremely difficult to complete. However, with a little practice, all of this will be muscle memory. It is possible to avoid these mistakes as long as you do your part.

Conquering challenges and live events

After completing all of these steps, you will be better prepared to handle your event. If you plan to hold more events in the future, make sure you don’t repeat the same mistakes.

You can now host events without a hitch, especially if you avoid these common event blunders. If you’re still confused, drop us an email at support@rumbletalk.com and we’ll show you a demo.
