When you create live events on your website, you make sure that everyone can join in. In every live event, you need a group chat to communicate with your audience.

Your audience is key to a successful live event. If you embed a group chat next to your live event, your audience can share the live event with their friends and family. This will lead to more traffic to your website and potential audience.

With a group chat platform that can help you, participants from anywhere in the world can join in the conversation. You can turn any small live event to a large-scale one.

Let’s talk about how you can add a chat directly on your website.

Embedding a group chat next to your live events

If you have a website that you currently use for live events, then it’s easy to embed a group chat. RumbleTalk has a pre-made code for embedding.

To embed your group chat next to your live event, follow these simple steps.

1. In your admin panel, go to Embed.
2. Generate a code that you want for your website. You can choose from an embedded chat or a floating chat. For live events, it’s better to choose an embedded one so it’s next to your live stream.
3. Click Get Code.
4. Copy and paste the code on your website.

If you have a WordPress website, then you need a chat plugin. Fortunately, RumbleTalk also has a WordPress plugin. For instructions on how you can use RumbleTalk as a chat plugin, read this.

White labeling your group chat

First, let’s discuss why people want to remove a brand name.

• Most website owners, developers, or webmasters want to use third-party software/services on their sites. This saves time, money, and all the stress that comes in developing a product.
• Customers want to see a coherent website. If there are different services or platforms combined, it takes away from the overall look and feel of the website.

With this, there is the option of white labeling. White labeling is an act of removing a product’s brand name from its platform. In this example, you can remove the RumbleTalk name from your group chat.

Besides, not all individuals are open to branding or having the platform name in the chat. Therefore, you can also remove it from your chatbox.

RumbleTalk allows you to design your chat with your own custom look for both mobile and web.

Once a customer will purchase a plan with us, he will not have any logo of RumbleTalk.

White label exceptions

As said above, you can white label the RumbleTalk chat. However, there are two places that RumbleTalk will still show.

• If you open the mobile version in full screen, you will see the RumbleTalk chat URL. What can be done is to disable the fullscreen option (opening the chat in a separate window) in the chat menu. Therefore, it will not open the chat in fullscreen with the RumbleTalk chat URL.
• Users can change their profile avatar in profile.rumbletalk.com. This is part of the GDPR requirement that users will be able to know what we information we keep and also allow them to change some of their settings.

Since this cannot be changed, they can hide the option to change their profile button in the chat.

Hosting live events with a white-labeled group chat

Streaming live events has been a part of social media trends since the 2000s. And since then, it has never left. It’s becoming larger by the year.

Live events cover sports, entertainment, gaming, and more. You name it. Now, almost all live events have a chat in parallel. That’s where you take advantage of chat platforms.

Embedding a chat platform like RumbleTalk can enhance your viewer count, site traffic, and brand recognition. So, you make the audience feel that they’re in the event itself. It’s more than just a live coverage.

Everything is strengthened by communication. This can be with yourself or others. Letting your audience have the ability to talk to you or others is one of the reasons that makes your live event successful.

With the advancement of technology, more and more companies have shifted to a work from home set-up. Now that we’re experiencing the coronavirus outbreak, this seems to be the most viable option.

The most important question is: How do you create a work from home set-up and how do you gain from it?

At RumbleTalk, we see the needs of individuals and professionals not that familiar with a work from home arrangement. So, if you want to know more about creating one, then continue reading for some useful tips.

1. Setting up a dedicated space

Before you can actually start working from home, you need to set-up a workspace or even a home office. This is where you transition to daily chores to work mode.

If you work on your bed or living room, you’ll see that you’re not that productive. You feel sleepy or don’t have the energy to work. Then, you’ll find yourself binge-watching Netflix series.

When creating your workspace, the best tip we can give you is to keep it minimized. Only put the essentials in your workspace such as your desktop/laptop, notepad, pen, and organizer.

If you haven’t tried this kind of workspace yet, always note that less is more. The basic pieces of furniture you need will be a sturdy table and a comfortable chair. Other knick-knacks can wait after work.

TIP: Always keep your workspace clean and decluttered.

2. Adopt a schedule

Thinking that work from home means more time to sleep? No. Of course, you can schedule to work late if you’re a freelancer. However, if you just shifted from an office to your home, you still have your work hours.

Yes, you don’t need to take that long to make yourself presentable in the morning and forget the daily commute. That’s already a plus to your sleeping hours. But, it’s better if you have a routine.

Just like working in an office set-up, you can schedule your work hours rather than changing schedules according to what time you wake up.

This is the struggle with working from home. As an individual, it’s hard to find the balance between responsibility and freedom. There are time trackers and project management tools that you can use.

Your office and management are also factors to consider. If they give you freedom, don’t abuse it. Meet your deadlines and check-in with your co-workers and manager from time to time.

3. Stay out of social media sites

Yes, you’re itching to go to Facebook or Twitter. We get it. Sometimes work is boring. However, that will be a negative impact on your productivity.

When working from home, sometimes you don’t know when to stop. If you really want to check your social media, then do it on your break time. Instill it on your mind that you still have work to do. Social media checking can wait at the end of the day.

We all need a break now and then, especially with the things happening now. But still, be thankful if you have work since others don’t have the same opportunity.

4. Creating a work from home set-up with PayConnect

Now that’s all discussed, we can talk about how you can create a work from home set-up. If you don’t have a company you work for, then this is perfect for you.

As PayConnect is RumbleTalk’s solution to gaining income, you can use it for work as well.

PayConnect lets you add paid access to your chat. There are two kinds of paid access.

• limited paid access
• subscription

These two differ in how customers can enter your chat. Limited paid access lets you charge customers via an entrance fee. They can enter for a few minutes or even a month. This depends on you as the chat owner.

Subscription is a paid access chat that lets customers have longer chat access times. This comes in the form of a subscription fee from months to years. Again, this depends on the chat owner.

If you’re interested in how you can collect donations and private payment requests, you can read all about our products here.

Want to step up your work from home game? If you’re an advisor/counselor or a professional with the ability to work online, you can check out expert’s chat. It’s also listed in the blog linked above.

With the expert’s chat, you can conduct one-on-one private chats with multiple people simultaneously. If the chat owner is not around, the person on the other line cannot start a conversation.

Also, other chatters cannot see how many people are active or who are active. As the chat owner and admin, only you can see the other chatters. This is why it only acts as a private chat.

Anyone with a RumbleTalk account can use this. So, if you want to take advantage of these features, then create a RumbleTalk account.

If you want to get connected with us, visit us on Facebook or Twitter. We can answer your questions there. Want to reach us through email? Then, feel free to contact Support.

Here at RumbleTalk, we have different products that we offer. From group chats to moderated chats, there’s always a product that’s the one for you.

RumbleTalk was established in 2012. It has been years since we launched. Therefore, there are already lots of new products since then.

So, why don’t we check them out? You might find the perfect product that you can use.

The different products of RumbleTalk

1. Group chat

RumbleTalk started with a group chat only. Group chats are social chats that you can use for different websites.

The primary use of a group chat is to stay connected with your members. In a group chat, you can send public messages to everyone.

Private messaging is also available. However, there are three options that a chat owner can choose for private messaging.

• Everyone can initiate a conversation with everyone.
• Only administrators can initiate conversations.
• Everyone can initiate conversations with administrators only.

In private messaging, users can hold one-on-one audio and video calls. Also, admins can request private payments from other users. Let’s talk about that in another paragraph.

2. Expert’s chat

As the name says, the expert’s chat is designed for experts or professionals in their respective skills.

The expert’s chat functions as a one-on-one chat only. The admin is the only one who’ll see the other active members of the chat.

If the admin is not active or around, the members of the chat cannot initiate conversation. Only the admin can initiate conversation in an expert’s chat.

Like the group chat, chat owners can also add paid access to the expert’s chat. We will talk about that in a bit.

3. Moderated chat

A moderated chat is a chat that lets admins pre-approve messages before they get sent out. This means that members of that chat cannot instantly send messages.

Every message is screened by an admin. So, it’s up to the admin whether it is approved or not.

Moderated chats are great for big events, conferences, or Q&As. That’s why we also call it Q&A mode.

4. RumbleTalk’s InChatPay and PayConnect

In all of the chat types above, you can add InChatPay and PayConnect. These act as paid access or in-chat payments.

There are two categories surrounding payments:

• InChatPay
• PayConnect

Firstly, InChatPay refers to donations and private payment requests. For donations, as long as it’s active, anyone can donate in the chat.

For private payment requests, only the admin can ask for payments from another user. Non-admin users cannot ask other users or admins for payments.

On the other hand, PayConnect refers to adding paid access to your chat. This can be in the form of an entrance fee or a subscription fee.

When you add an entrance fee, users can enter your chat from minutes to months.

When you add a subscription fee, users can enter your chat for a month or a yearly basis. In turn, you create a membership chat where only certain users have access to your chat.

So, which RumbleTalk product do you like best?

From all the products shown above, what clicks to you the most?

If you’re a website owner, the group chat might be the perfect product for you. You can chat with your followers and connect with them.

Are you a professional or a guru in your field? You can use the expert’s chat to chat with clients. It’s a one-on-one conversation so privacy will not be an issue for both parties.

If you’re going to use the chat for an event or a conference, then you should go for the moderated chat. It’s useful to approve messages before they get sent out. So, you can make sure the no spam or hateful messages are sent in the chat.

If you’re an entrepreneur or a small-business owner, then you can ask for donations or private payments via InChatPay. By adding RumbleTalk’s PayWall, you save your customers the hassle of going out for bank transactions.

Each product has a different use and target. They may have overlapping features, but there’s something unique in each one.
