As a RumbleTalk user, did you know that you can enable or disable chat features as you like? As an admin, there are a lot of chat features that you can play with. Moreover, as a chat owner, that privilege is endless. You control the chat room itself. Even admins won’t be able to use a feature if you choose to.

So, what are some handy features that you can enable and disable?

Chat menu options

Members of the chat, particularly admins, will find the menu options useful. Chat owners will be the ones who decide who gets to use which chat menu options.

It can be restricted to admins only, or only certain options are available to non-admin members of the chat. A chat owner can even go so far as to hide all options for all members. As a result, the decision is made by the chat’s owner.

Check out this article to learn more about the chat menu options.

Hide or unhide the user’s list

You have two options of hiding or unhiding your user list.

• Hiding it for everyone;
• Hiding it for non-admin users only.

Follow these steps to hide/unhide the user’s list.

1. You must use the Rumbletalk admin panel to manage the users list.
2. Enter your RumbleTalk username and password.
3. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
4. Go to the General & Logins tab.
5. Select the Advanced subtab.
6. Check the For administrators only checkbox under Display the users list if you want to hide the user’s list from non-admin users. To hide it for everyone, uncheck the Display the users list checkbox.

If you’re operating a private chat room, this is very useful. No one would be able to see who is online unless they send a message to the chat room. Therefore, users can keep a bit of anonymity if they choose to only listen in the chat room.

Disable calls

You can hide the option to start a video call or audio call in the private chat by configuring it in the admin panel.

1. Go to your admin panel.
2. Select Settings from the drop-down menu after clicking on the Settings tab.
3. Navigate to the Multimedia tab.
4. Uncheck the boxes next to Allow Video Calls and Allow Audio Calls.

CSS-based functionalities

There are also various chat features that you can enable and disable through advanced CSS. If you want these features disabled, then you would need to have basic knowledge of CSS. Fortunately, we provide the codes that you only need to copy and paste.

Here are some samples.

Hide the QR box

Paste this code if you want to hide the QR code of your chat room.

To remove the button, add the following:

#options #opts { display: none; }

To keep the button for chat moderators only, add the following:

.moderator #options #opts { display: list-item; }

Hide the chat date and time

Each message by default will be stamped with the date and time it was sent. Use this code to remove this feature.

.message-date { display: none; }

Hide the user icons in the user list

All user icons will not be seen in the user’s list, only their usernames.

.user-image { display: none; }

Controlling the chat room by enabling and disabling chat features

Different chat rooms serve different functions. A public chat may not require as many options, whereas a members-only chat may. For instance, the export option is not used as frequently in public chat rooms. As a result, non-admin members can have the export option disabled. This is only one of many examples.

You can take command of your chat room when you enable or disable various chat features. It gives you more control over the direction of your conversation.

You can try the RumbleTalk chat room for free and tinker with these features. If you’re interested in a demo, you can also connect with us at support@rumbletalk.com.

The primary goal of RumbleTalk is to give our customers the freedom to customize their in-chat platform. Why? We wanted to give them a chance to get a good-looking chat room without changing the overall website theme.

Since not all in-chat platforms offer that, we wanted site owners to be able to easily create and embed chats, customize it to match their website design, control when it was on or off, moderate, and do other things.

RumbleTalk allows users to customize three major aspects of their group chat: design, operation, and location. Each area has been meticulously planned and programmed with our customers in mind. In this article, we’ll be discussing the design aspect.

Letting users customize the design however they want

Design is usually the first area of customization that people consider, and it is rightfully a critical factor when deciding whether or not to use group chat on your website.

If the chat does not appear to belong there, the page will appear amateurish, and an amateur site makes it more difficult for your customers to trust your brand.

We understand the importance of design, so we created three levels of the design customization to make it simple for anyone of any tech-literacy level to get the group chat they want.

Skins Library

Our designers have created a robust skin library for customers to customize with a single click. Our skins range from simple to complex. Some have solid color backgrounds, while others have images or transparent backgrounds. Skins can be changed any time. Therefore, even when the chat is live, designs are updated automatically.

If you can’t find a theme that’s exactly what you’re looking for, you can always use it as a starting point and tweak it in the advanced design panel instead of starting from scratch.

Innovative In-Chat Platform Design

Through advanced design, easily change, modify, alter, and improve chat design at any time. Colors, fonts, borders, dimensions, and the chat background can all be changed under the advanced design tab.

Uploading your own image or logo as the chat background is a great way to make use of this feature. This is one of the most efficient methods of making the chat strictly adhere to your website.

CSS Codes

We have included the ability to input your own CSS code for those who have a working knowledge of CSS. This means that a CSS expert can truly transform a group chat to look amazing while retaining RumbleTalk’s efficiency.

Even if you don’t know CSS, we’ve compiled a list of CSS tricks that are simple to copy and paste.

Furthermore, CSS customization is possible for both the web and mobile versions of the RumbleTalk group chat.

Are you ready to create your own in-chat platform?

We created an in-chat platform that allowed designers to create a beautiful group chat room for their clients. The more we worked on it, the more potential we saw. Customizing a mobile-friendly group chat room can boost member retention and add value to the community as a whole. It’s a commendable effort!

This article only covered RumbleTalk’s customization settings. There are a plethora of other great features that make it simple to use and highly functional for your community. We integrated tools such as file/media sharing, video calls, and everything in between.

With these objectives in mind, we are constantly improving our platform. It’s a never-ending project, but we sincerely hope to create the best group chat platform for communities.

When it comes to better communication solutions, don’t give up just yet. You may utilize a variety of strategies to make them as inclusive and remote-friendly as possible! So don’t be concerned if your employees or clients are dispersed throughout multiple nations. Remote meetings and events that make attendees feel engaged and ensure good ideas are addressed are now easier than ever before with RumbleTalk.

Aside from supporting many languages, we’ve compiled terrific methods to use a live chat to use as one of the communication solutions for your business. Learn how to streamline meetings and ensure that all of your participants feel heard throughout the process by looking over our list of tips below.

Design a live chat room that is unique to your audience

There’s still a way to provide your audience a virtual experience that’s comparable to going to a live event. This strategy not only makes individuals feel more at ease but also boosts their general participation. After all, there’s nothing worse than watching an online seminar that feels identical to a traditional webinar.

Personalize the look of your chat rooms to add visual value to your clients’ experience. You can customize the general style of your live chat in any manner you want, including the background, fonts, message bubbles, and notification sounds.

You can choose from one of our pre-made themes if you’re a newbie. Use CSS to adjust the overall appeal of your conversation for a more personalized look. Click here for a tutorial on how to design your chat rooms.

YouTube playback and multimedia sharing

Let’s improve the accessibility of your online events. We ensured that participants could contribute multimedia content on the move, such as documents, images, videos, and audio files. Click the paperclip button in the lower-left corner of your group conversation to share anything. You can make more successful presentations that result in conversions with this.

Aside from that, anyone can conveniently embed a YouTube video in the conversation. Your vendors, for example, might like to present a video of a product demonstration. Simply copy and paste the chat URL into your website, and your visitors will be able to play it right away. There’s no need to switch to another tab. For individuals who want to look at different merchants, this saves a lot of time.

Virtual event booths for networking

Consider adding a few virtual booths where clients can meet fellow participants and vendors if you’re hosting a particularly large online event. Everyone in the live chat can mention a user, start a one-on-one conversation, and send an audio or video message. This keeps everyone involved at all times, regardless of where they are or what device they are using.

Virtual event booths are great, but when they’re full, they can be too noisy. Adding a moderator can save you a lot of trouble. You can hold a question and answer session in a Moderated Chat by creating an open live chat room. Your booth vendors will be able to answer inquiries and questions about the products or services they provide in this manner.

Furthermore, by filtering the chat before it becomes public, the moderator will be able to keep the chat organized. The moderator can also mute users, ban spammers, and export attendee lists. This has proven to be one of the most effective communication solutions.

A virtual environment that is all about communication solutions and has powerful live chat tools

Finding the right tools that appeal to every type of event is the key to fostering an inclusive environment. As a result, RumbleTalk has prepared all of the necessary communication solutions to make your next online event more inclusive, comfortable, and productive.

There are several tools you can use to ensure everyone has access, in addition to providing a rich online interface for collaboration during events.
