Change your user chat status is now available with the RumbleTalk group chat platform.
Yes, you might have your chat open. However, you might not be active all time. So, instead of letting chatters guess your chat status, why not show if you’re active or not?
This newly added feature lets you show your user chat status in three ways. Let us show you how it works.
Different user chat statuses
In the new feature, you can set your user chat status in three ways.
Online
Busy
Away
Online means that you’re online and can chat anytime. Busy is when you’re willing to chat, but not able to reply immediately. Offline is when you’re not able to reply.
You might have just forgot to log out or something like that. With this, you can notify your chatters whether you’re in the chat or not.
How to change your chat status
In the chat room, you will see the gear icon below. This is the chat settings.
When you click on it, the chat settings will appear. You will see the different chat statuses there.
Choose from online, busy, or away to let your chatters know your status.
This feature is available for the group chat and moderated chat types.
When you change your chat status to away or busy, your chatters will see it when they hover over your name.
Here’s a visual example of how it looks like.
Furthermore, when you change your chat status to away, your chatters won’t be able to send you private messages.
Changing your user chat status
Since we’re all chatting away right now, we might as well use features that are catered to our advantage. By adding this feature, we want to improve your user experience.
On that note, we have updated our knowledge base with new articles and videos. You can check that out if you want to know more about the admin panel, some FAQs, and even tips.
Follow us also on Twitter and Facebook as we post daily about random tidbits, tips and tricks, and useful information you can use in your chat.
Here’s a new feature that you can try! Copy images from your computer or from anywhere and paste them to your RumbleTalk group chat.
Previously, you need to save an image on your device before you can upload it on a group chat. Now, it’s possible to just copy an image and paste the image on your chat.
This saves space on your device and time as you don’t need to download anything just to share an image.
Paste images as you chat
Copying and pasting images this way is a time and space saver. You don’t need to save an image to your device. Additionally, this saves time as you just need to copy the image directly.
For example, if you want to send your chatters an image, you can just copy and paste the images on the chat.
Since other chatters want convenience and immediacy, there will be limitations if this wasn’t introduced. So, it’s for this purpose that this functionality was added.
This feature is useful if you’re always on the go and want to send images immediately. Try this feature out and let us know if you’re having fun with it!
Here’s the feature in action.
How to copy any image and paste it on your group chat
The copy and paste feature is a feature that we’re all familiar with. We’re just applying it to images, not just text. So, here’s a quick tutorial on how you can copy and paste images on your group chat.
Find an image that you like.
Hover over the image that you want to copy. Press the right-click on your mouse and choose Copy image.
Go over to the RumbleTalk chat and paste the image on your text box by using the right-click or Ctrl + V.
Send your image to the group chat.
Pasted images will appear immediately in the chat.
Added chat functionality

We might just add it to our next update! If you want to check out our other features, then head on to our website. Explore some products and functionality that you’re not yet familiar with.
These days, more and more employees are choosing remote jobs. To keep up with the trend, a webcast chat is your best solution to keep in touch.
Live streaming and video streaming platforms are booming. With that said, webinars are favored for businesses and workshops for improving skills.
Tools like moderated chat in RumbleTalk are enabling employees and customers worldwide to stay connected. Also, they are given a chance to learn from the business leaders and those within the organization.
Why a webcast chat?
A webcast chat within a webinar provides two-way communication. Usually, businesses hold them to educate employees, customers, or prospective customers, to hone their skills and improve relationships.
What do you need to run a webinar?
Firstly, you need a quiet space. Secondly, you’d need a camera to record the virtual event. Next, you need a webcast chat. This is where RumbleTalk can help. It includes a moderated chat that you can use throughout the event.
How can you get your own webcast chat?
To get your own webcast chat, you can create an account on RumbleTalk.
Next, choose moderated chat as your preferred chat type.
Agree to the terms and conditions.
Finally, you have your own account. If you want to change your chat settings, you can do so on your admin panel.
Lastly, share your chat link or embed it on your website.
By sharing your link to your groups, you make sure you involve everyone. Once you’ve set up your chat, you can now pre-approve messages before they get sent out. So, choose questions to be answered in the webinar.
Take full control of the community conversation
If a question does not fit the chat standards, you can immediately delete it. Therefore, no one will feel negative or threatened.
If a user is persistent in sending those kinds of messages, there are different chat moderation features that you can use. They are as follows:
Ban IP addresses
Disconnect users from the chat
Ignore messages from a particular user
Block and filter words
You can see all of these features on the chat and admin panel. So, be sure to discover that first!
How to ask questions during a live webcast?
When you are using moderated chat as your chat type, the admins need to approve questions before they get sent out. Here’s how admins see the messages of the non-admin users.
admin view
As for the customers and employees, they can ask their questions normally. However, they will not see other users’ questions if they’re not approved. For non-admin users, only approved questions will be shown. Here’s an example of a non-admin user’s view.
user view
Even if non-admin users cannot see the other users’ questions, they can still send their own. If their question is chosen by the admins, it will appear in the chat room.
The moderated chat type is great as a webcast chat since the admins can keep an eye on the chat discussion. Moreover, admins are given different chat moderation tools so they can effectively moderate the chat.
Adding admins to your chat is simple. Click “Users” on your admin panel. Type in the username and choose administrative rights. Add admins as your webinar needs.
Effectively collaborate with your customers and peers
Hosting a webinar is stressful, especially if it’s your first time. Therefore, it’s a great idea to be prepared. With a webcast chat, you’re sure to have the perfect medium for conversation.
Another thing that chatters can take away is a copy of your webinar. For example, did you use slides or any document on your webcast? If yes, you can send that in the chat as an admin. This will let all users download the necessary material.
It’s a win-win situation for the company and its employees and customers. Need more seats for your webinar? You can also upgrade your account to premium or add seats manually.
After your webinar, don’t forget to follow up with everyone. You can also use the chat as a group chat and let your users send in their feedback. To change chat types, go to your admin panel. Then, choose group chat.
It’s as easy as that! You can do more if you check out your admin panel. So, tinker with it as much as you can.
Got any questions about the platform? You can reach us on Facebook and Twitter. Just send a message or DM. We’ll get back to you ASAP.
Already a RumbleTalk user? Then, click Support on your admin panel. You’ll be redirected to the contact form.
I hope this helps you with your next webinar. As a business owner or an entrepreneur, a webcast chat is the way to go for webinars. Get your own today.
