That’s okay. You’re bound to see what works for you here.

You may even be interested in what other features RumbleTalk has to offer. If you read this blog, you will find something for your business, your service, or yourself.

And if that proves successful, you can even gain income. I can’t give a range because it all depends on the prices you set.

Here are some chat types of RumbleTalk that you need to know

• Group chat – Before anything else, the primary function of our all-in-one chat is a group chat that you can add to any website. The group chat can be a social one where it’s open for anyone, while it can also be private for private discussions.

• Expert’s chat – This is a chat that caters to professionals and businesses. You can use RumbleTalk as your chat tool for counseling, trading advice, online tutoring, and more.

-If you’re a professional that doesn’t know where to offer their skills and get paid, then this is a perfect solution.

• Moderated chat – A chat for events. The moderated chat’s primary use and goal is to keep the chat safe.

-With every message pre-approved by the admin, there will be no space for spammers and scammers. It can also serve as a platform for Q&A sessions where the questions will be given by the audience. The speaker will answer the chosen question.

-It will be your ultimate tool for a successful live event. Next, let’s discuss the features.

The features of your all-in-one group chat tool

• Upload files, documents, and images – In chats, you can’t avoid sending some images or files related to your topic. So, in the chat, you can drag and drop the file that you want to share.

-You can also use the paperclip icon on the text box to browse from your computer, laptop, or smartphone.

• Make use of the text box, audio calls, and video calls – These are all common chat features that we use every day. The text box serves as the messaging feature of the chat room.

-Audio calls are great for discussions that need time. Usually, you call a person when you need to talk about something important, something that needs full attention.

-Lastly, a video call is an alternative for an in-person conversation. You can use it for face-to-face conversation in your chosen device.

More than chat features

• Paid access – RumbleTalk lets you add paid access for every chat type. This means that, when you choose that “paid” kind, you can add an entrance or subscription fee on top of the chat.

-You can choose entrance or subscription as the type of paid access for your chat. You can also set the time limit from minutes to months, and monthly and annually for a subscription.

• In-chat payments – When we talk about an all-in-one chat, we mean it. The private chat lets you make payments and transactions in the chat itself.

• Donations – Donations are made possible by in-chat payments. If the chat owner activates the donate feature, any individual can donate in the chat.

-Communities and organizations can utilize this for fundraising and crowdfunding goals of their group. It’s easier to reach goals when you have teamwork.

• Payment request – Payment request is a feature that lets you send a request for payment from an individual to another. For instance, you can use this for your current business or service, e.g., online teaching, trading advice, and counseling.

-You won’t need to worry about going to register on different payment platforms just to get a transaction done. You can do all this with just a click. We can assure you that all transactions are safe and secure.

Live events are part of the digital era. Normally in a live event, you will see a live broadcast next to a live moderated chat. With large online events there is a need to have tight control over your audience messages. We are happy to share with you the new beta version of moderated chat for live events and groups.

A Moderated Chat is an online chat for events with a speaker and group of audience, or a chat where there is a discussion happening. Comments or messages by members won’t be public unless an administrator approves it.

When a member of the chat room types a message, it will be immediately sent to the admin. The admin will now check every message and select appropriate messages or questions for the group chat.

Then, these messages will appear normally in the chat room if they are approved by the admin. If not, they will be automatically deleted.

How does Moderated Chat work?

1. Admin – The admin screens messages/questions. He/she also appoint a new admin to moderate the chat room. The admin can also be the expert or chat owner.
2. Chatters – Ask questions and read responses. In addition, they can send greetings/messages as long as it is approved by the admin.

• On your admin panel, you will see the chat type setting.

• Once the Moderated Chat type is chosen, you’ll see that messages from other chatters will now need to be approved by the admin. Messages will have check and cross boxes on the right-hand side.

• The message approved by the admin will appear normally in the chat. Then, users will be able to respond to that specific message.

• If not, the message will be automatically deleted.

• If his/her message was approved or not, the member who sent the message will not be notified. He/she will just see in the chat if his/her message is there or not.

Workflow

• A user, who is not an admin, sends a message in the chat room.

• All admins will see this message in their chat window. It’s up to them to approve or delete it. If it’s approved, then the message will be seen by all users. This is how it would look like:

Highlights

• You can change the moderated chat immediately to a normal group chat.
• You can switch from moderated chat to paid moderated chat anytime.
• Admins can screen messages and disconnect spammers and harassers in the chat.
• If needed, it can also be used along with a block and filter words feature.
• It’s an organized chat. While the normal group chat allows users to chat instantaneously, the moderated chat disables normal chatting. Messages will not go live unless the admin approves it. This lets the chat be safe and organized.

What other features can you use for chat moderation?

1. Disconnect

As the admin, you can disconnect users who don’t follow the rules. This can serve as a warning for users who spam messages. This is the next step after seeing the messages on the moderated chat. As the moderated chat lets the admin approve messages, you can then disconnect users who send inappropriate ones.

2. Ban

If the warning by disconnecting is not enough, you can also ban users by their IP addresses. This can also serve as the action for the worst-case scenario. These scenarios are applicable to harassers, predators, or members asking for private information (credit card number, address, etc).

3. Limit users

You can also limit users using your chat. There are many ways to do this.

First, you can register members to your chat room. Only specific members can enter the chat room. However, this is not useful for large events as you are limiting it only to users you know.

Second, you can also limit users by the chat rooms they can access. For example, one user can access only “Chat Room 1.” This also goes for the other admins. As a result, you can appoint users to a specific chat room only.

Lastly, you can use user authentication. This means that the log-in interface will not pop-up. Only private users can access the chat room.

Conclusion

To conclude this, we see that chat for events needs moderators and rules. Events are always crowded and rowdy. You can avoid that. Handling an event is tough, but with the correct solution, you can push through it.

The moderated chat is a solution for negative messages on your event. This can affect your company, product, or service. By having a moderated chat at your expense, you can build a better chat room. You can build a community that’s safe and a place that makes your chatters feel secure.

With the moderated chat and the additional features discussed above, you can provide for your members. In addition, you can ensure that no harmful messages will be sent out. The chat will be heavily moderated. If messages like these persist, you can always ban or disconnect the user. This depends on how his/her message can negatively impact the chat.

We are happy to share with you the latest text formatting option and new line option.

Four special ways for text formatting

First, the new feature is special ways for text formatting. You can use this feature in four ways. All format tags need to be typed before and after the text.

• First, you can mark your text using a tilde (~). This makes a strikethrough text. Here’s an example.

• Second, mark your text with an asterisk (*). This will make your text bold. You can see an example below.

• Third, mark your text with a grave accent (`). This makes your text red. It is perfect for adding code or anything you want to emphasize. See the example below for your reference.

• Last but not least, mark your text with an underscore (_). This put the text in italic format. See the example as follows.

These are the four ways that you can do to mark your text.

Another new feature – New line

In the introduction, I mentioned that there are two new features. This is where we talk about the other one. It’s making a new line (paragraph) through a single message box (For group and private chats).

When you press enter after you type, you immediately send the message. This is what happens, right? Now, in this added feature, if you use SHIFT+Enter, you can add another line. Here’s an example.

See? It’s very useful when you don’t want to break your flow of information. Another advantage is other members can’t send a message in between the messages that you want to convey. This is absolutely great to use in meetings, discussions, and even your normal chat announcements.

How do you use it?

Based on the purpose, you and your chat members can use it to identify a specific text as special. It can be used to highlight information that is important. You can use text formatting to make your members pay attention to a paragraph, sentence, or a word.

If you’re an online tutor, you can use it with your lessons. For example, if they’re reading a paragraph, they can highlight text that needs to be corrected. This can also be used when they need some clarification on a specific text. This makes it easier for discussions and for taking notes.

However, do make rules on text formatting when you’re using it for a class. For instance, if your student uses a tilde for strikethrough text, this means that this particular text or sentence is wrong. You need to be clear on using these special markings. Why? This will make your job easier. Not only that, but your student will also learn the importance of consistency. This will help him/her appreciate the flow and the strategy. As a result, he/she can also use this in other lessons.

When should you use it?

You can use it for meetings, lessons, and conferences, even in the normal chat rooms. Its primary use is to highlight a text. This means that this text is important. It screams, “Look at this!” Just like that! It brings your attention to it. Moreover, you don’t need to do a lot just to get this effect.

This is a fundamental strategy to get your members’ attention. If you’re an admin of a chat room, this is really useful. It can assist you in handling your members. You can use it for announcements and notices. Then, you’ll be sure that your members are paying attention. That way, you get the message across.

Why should you use it?

When you mark texts, this gives a sense of urgency. In turn, your members respect your authority. There is order in the chat room. Once you start using text formatting, your members will recognize it next time. If they see using bold text, this means the announcement is important. If they see a red text, then it’s a warning. Something in the lines of that.

You can also use this for your services. An example I’ve given earlier is about online tutoring. Let me use that again. When you introduce text formatting to your students, they will be actively engaged in your lesson. They will see these special marks as tools to make their life easier. In turn, you give them the advantage of learning and being attentive.

They can use this to summarize their works, highlight important details, and connect ideas given in the text. Text formatting is essential for class discussions. Once you use this in your lesson, students will quickly reference details that pertain to their class purpose.
