New Feature: Guest Avatar

Guest users usually have limited features that they can use. In this new update, guest users can now add their own guest avatar.

Previously, only chat members were able to add an avatar. They can upload any avatar they choose to. It’s up to them what image they would upload as their profile picture.

When you have a lot of guests in your chat, it’s good to have their own avatars. In that way, everyone can identify who is who. So, it won’t get too confusing.

Let me show you how guest users can add their own avatar when logging in.

Enabling the guest avatar option

  • On your admin panel, you will see the “Settings” option. Click on that.
  • Next, go to “Advanced.”
  • Check the box for “Guest avatar.”

Enabling the option will let your guest users add their own avatar.

Moving on, let me show you how guests can add their avatar.

Adding a guest avatar

Before anything else, the guest log-in should be enabled on your admin panel. Therefore, enable it in via “Login Options” on your admin panel settings.

After that, let me show you an example of how guest users can add their own avatar.

  • First, choose “Guest” as the login option.
  • Second, type the name they want.

After they log in, they will see their avatar next to their username.

New Feature: Page Password

If you’re a RumbleTalk user, you must be already familiar with Rumble Pages, our minisite equivalent. We’ve upgraded your experience so that every page can be added with a password.

Since it’s a page password, this only applies to Rumble Pages. Therefore, it won’t work on your chats or any other feature.

Let’s start exploring the new feature!

Adding a page password

Currently, there are two ways to add a password for your page. These are the following:

  • Setting
  • Changing

Firstly, when you haven’t published your page yet, you can set a password when you click the gear button at the top right.

This gear button serves as the page settings. You can also see here your reserved page’s name, the publish button, and the logout button.

So, your password must be between 6 and 50 characters and cannot contain commas. Any user opening your published page will be required to type it before they can access your page.

Secondly, when your page is already published, you can then change its password. To change your page’s password, follow the steps above.

Before, it was Set password. After publishing, it became Change password.

When changing your password, it will also give you an option to unset the current one. If you click on it, it will revert the page to its original state. This means that anyone with your page link can immediately enter it.

Upgraded privacy and security

pages

Now that you’ve added a page password, want to see how it looks like?

When you visit your published page, it will now ask for a password. Besides asking a password, it will also ask you to complete a CAPTCHA.

This is for added security so that no one will be able to bypass the page or leave spam on your page. Also, it can check if the other party accessing it is a real person, just like for other websites.

Since this is a page that might have private information, we’ve added this as a new feature to protect our users’ privacy. Let us know if you want more features added for Rumble Pages via our Twitter and Facebook pages.

More updates ahead

Currently, we’re working on more new updates and features in the future. We hope you stay with us until then. If you liked this new feature, leave us a message on our social media pages.

Are you subscribed to our newsletter? We also share some useful tips and tricks, infographics, and the latest updates in your email. Check it if you can and subscribe if you’re not yet part of our newsletter!

Besides our newsletter, you can also read our blogs for entertaining and useful information about RumbleTalk, relevant topics, etc. If you’re having problems or questions about the platform, you can check out our knowledge base and find a solution.

If the problem still persists, please do contact us. We will try to help you as soon as we can.

We hope to see you on our next update!

InChatPay and PayConnect: Monetize your Group Chat

With RumbleTalk, you can easily monetize your group chat. InChatPay and PayConnect are two features that will help you do that.

Online donations, payments, and paid membership are trends right now. While creating a group chat is easy, managing those is another topic. It’s another task in itself.

Well, let us help you with that. InChatPay and PayConnect can make monetization easier. By using RumbleTalk, you can connect your PayPal account in one click. Then, you can proceed to set up your monetized group chat in just a few minutes.

Let’s talk about donations and private payments first. Then, let’s talk about membership fees and limited access.

All about donations and private payments

Now that almost everything can be done online, donations and private payments are a part of that. Taking it to the next step, you can easily collect donations and private payments in a group chat.

So, how can you do that? The answer lies in InChatPay. Over here at RumbleTalk, we call that as InChatPay.

InChatPay covers all donations and private payments. Churches and non-profit organizations can use the group chat to collect donations.

You can put your cause in the group chat as a welcome message or just a normal message.

For small businesses or entrepreneurs, you can use private payment requests to collect payments from your customers. The private payment request is only accessible in the private chat. Also, the admin needs to send a request before a user can pay.

Unlike donations, private payments have transaction fees. RumbleTalk keeps 10% of the commission, while you get 90%. Not a bad deal, right?

Access and membership fees

What do you do when you want to add access and membership fees? You use PayConnect. PayConnect is used for access and membership fees.

Firstly, you can add an access fee to let a user enter the group chat for a specific time. The time limit can be from minutes to weeks. This is limited paid access for chat members.

Next, membership fees are unlimited access to your chat members. It’s a special subscription for your members to have unlimited access to your group chat. If you choose this kind of PayConnect for your members, you can choose from monthly or annual membership.

When you monetize your group chat, you can add your chat terms and conditions. There are two choices:

  • Terms text – You fully declare the terms before the users can enter your group chat. It will be shown on the payment popup.
  • Terms link – You put a link where your terms and conditions can be found.

Members should always agree to the terms before entering the chat.

Once that’s all set up, you can check any payment that’s made on your chat. It will all be labeled on Monetize Records that you can find on your admin panel.

Records of any payment are shown. It will show the following:

  1. Date
  2. Payer
  3. Amount
  4. Status (new, paid, and refunded)
  5. Country
  6. Type

Here’s an example of how your records will look like when your members have paid.

You will see in the last section (Type) what kind of payment has been made.

Monetize your group chat

InChatPay and PayConnect are features that you should know if you want to monetize your group chat.

Monetization comes in different kinds of ways. From donations to membership fees, you have to know what you want for your group chat.

If you want to combine them all, you can also choose to do that. It’s up to you. Try all combinations and see what works best for your group chat.

You can check out the detailed information on this page. Since RumbleTalk has lots of monetization options, you can read about it. Then, you can use it on any kind of chat type.
