This August, we’re releasing five (5) of the most requested chat features by our users. From our upgraded design panel to the new user capabilities, these new chat features will make online communication even easier than it already is.

Most importantly, these new Chat features reflect our continued commitment to creating the best virtual communication experience possible. They allow us to maintain focus on creating more and better options for our community while keeping the chat application running smoothly and securely.

1. Pin Messages On Top

We know how important it is to keep certain messages at the top of your chat list for easy access. With our new Pin Messages feature, you can do just that!

You can use this feature for announcements, chat room house rules, and more. Whatever it is, the message can now be pinned to the top of your chat list for easy access.

2. Edit Your Chat Messages

You’ll soon be able to change your chat messages after they’re sent. This will be a useful feature for fixing typos or for changing your mind about what you want to say. No need to delete and retype everything.

3. New Point-And-Click Design Panel

One of the things we’re most excited about is the brand new design panel that will make creating custom chat designs easier than ever before.

From the shape and size of the chat room to the background, fonts, icons, and more – you’ll be able to point and click your way to a beautiful chat design. Plus, we’ve added some new features that will make the process even more fun and easy.

4. New Chat Skin Designs

We wanted to give our users more options that’ll help you keep your chat rooms looking fresh and updated. So, we’re finally adding a new collection of chat skins! Expect modern, clean, and stylish designs you can instantly use as is, or as a starting template to make it look and feel like your brand.

Furthermore, for advanced users, you’d still be able to customize your chat skins using CSS. This will give your developers the creative freedom to execute the look you want for your chat rooms.

5. New Set Of Emojis

Whether or not you use them, modern communication often involves Emojis or their predecessor, emoticons. They’ve even come to replace slang and acronyms—there’s no need to type LOL when you can simply send a laughing emoji.

As a universally recognized iconography, we now send them as part of our texts. And we all understand. Though they may be just sloppy shorthand at times- some researchers say that Emojis are actually improving our ability to communicate more effectively.

So, we are adding more emojis to your RumbleTalk chats! The new set includes a variety of emotions, so you can express yourself in any situation and liven up your conversations. You can enable or disable any set of emoticons any time.

Want to see new chat features in the next months?

With online messaging being essential in our daily lives, it is important for us that we cover everything our users might need. So, we continuously strive to improve our system to create a smooth experience for all.

We’d love to know more about the things you wish to improve, and new features you would love to see. For suggestions and inquiries, please message us at support@rumbletalk.com.

The recent pandemic has caused us to be inclined to explore digital solutions. So, one thing is a sure bet. Hosting a hybrid event will be the norm in the coming years.

If you’re organizing a large event, you should be aware of the concept of hybrid events. Consider them a mix of physical gatherings and virtual events.

As the world becomes more at ease, there are more options for hosting events. You can host a limited number of attendees at your venue while providing live streams for those who are unable to attend.

What exactly is a hybrid event?

Consider a hybrid event to be the best of both worlds. It combines the rich, engaging experiences of a live event with the reach and convenience of a virtual event. This is now the new standard.

Nearly half of corporate event attendees believe hybrid is the best event format for the future compared to solely in-person or virtual events.

Why are hybrid events the future?

There are numerous advantages to holding hybrid events. In today’s rapidly changing health climate, consumers’ levels of comfort with being with others in a group setting vary. Therefore, hybrid events provide opportunities for those attending in-person or remotely.

This also allows an event to be open to people internationally, rather than just those who live close to the in-person event or have the financial means to pay for the necessary transportation and accommodations.

Of course, hybrid events are not immune to these difficulties. Having a hybrid event requires marketers to focus on managing the various platforms and technologies that enable it. Working with experts on this field can help alleviate this worry.

Another challenge is creating an equally inclusive, engaging, and memorable event experience whether attendees are present in person or virtually. This should be planned by the companies ahead of the event.

Hybrid event examples

It feels like a lifetime has passed since the pandemic began. In that time, the events industry has progressed from completely in-person only to virtual, and now to a hybrid of both.

Hybrid is not only the future; it’s now happening! A quick search for hybrid events reveals the wide range of gatherings that have already occurred this year, as well as the many more that are planned.

To begin with, job fair organizers are a big fan of the hybrid approach. Certain organizers not only organize hybrid events, but also hybrid meetings. These allow jobseekers to participate in interviews from their rooms or smaller areas throughout the venue, while other members can join in private chat rooms.

Familiar with hybrid weddings? Now, you can also invite guests to watch your wedding when they cannot attend. Elev8 Event Group made this wedding special by choosing the perfect location and accommodation, then choosing RumbleTalk as their chat platform for a seamless event.

Key points

Because both in-person and virtual events have advantages, the future of brand experience will be hybrid-centric. In-person events allow attendees to make a more tangible connection, but virtual events make an event more inclusive.

Companies should focus on interaction and engagement for all of their attendees, whether they are in-person or virtual. This will ensure that your future experiential events are more successful than ever before.

Because you want the event to be more than just a virtual conference call for remote attendees, you must plan for success. This includes planning, creating timelines, strategizing, and doing a practice run to ensure the event runs smoothly.

With determination and the expertise of an agency that knows how to create scalable, memorable hybrid events, you can host an interactive, inclusive hybrid event.
