As an admin, there are a lot of chat features that you can play with. Moreover, as a chat owner, that privilege is endless. You control the chat room itself. Even admins won&#8217;t be able to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rumbletalk.com\/features\">feature<\/a> if you choose to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are some handy features that you can enable and disable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chat menu options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200121063158\/menuoptions.gif\" alt=\"menu options\" class=\"wp-image-7975\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the chat, particularly admins, will find the <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/can-you-choose-which-features-appear-in-the-chat-menu\/\">menu options<\/a> useful. Chat owners will be the ones who decide who gets to use which chat menu options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be restricted to admins only, or only certain options are available to non-admin members of the chat. A chat owner can even go so far as to hide all options for all members. As a result, the decision is made by the chat&#8217;s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/2020\/02\/03\/menu-options\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a>&nbsp;to learn more about the chat menu options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hide or unhide the user&#8217;s list<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20220228103058\/userlist.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20220228103058\/userlist.png 700w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20220228103058\/userlist-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You have two options of hiding or unhiding your <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/users-see-only-admin\/\">user list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Hiding it for everyone;<\/li><li>Hiding it for non-admin users only.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to hide\/unhide the user&#8217;s list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>You must use the Rumbletalk admin panel to manage the users list.<\/li><li>Enter your RumbleTalk username and password.<\/li><li>Select&nbsp;<strong><em>Settings<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;from the drop-down menu.<\/li><li>Go to the&nbsp;<strong><em>General &amp; Logins<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;tab.<\/li><li>Select the&nbsp;<strong><em>Advanced<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;subtab.<\/li><li>Check the&nbsp;<strong><em>For administrators only<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;checkbox under&nbsp;<strong><em>Display the users list<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;if you want to hide the user&#8217;s list from non-admin users.

No one would be able to see who is online unless they send a message to the chat room. Therefore, users can keep a bit of anonymity if they choose to only listen in the chat room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disable calls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can hide the option to start a <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/how-to-disable-live-video-calls\/\">video call<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/knowledge-base\/how-to-disable-live-audio-calls\/\">audio call<\/a> in the private chat by configuring it in the admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"733\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20191008073629\/allow_video_calls-2.png\" alt=\"chat features\" class=\"wp-image-7552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20191008073629\/allow_video_calls-2.png 733w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20191008073629\/allow_video_calls-2-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Go to your admin panel.<\/li><li>Select&nbsp;<strong><em>Settings<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;from the drop-down menu after clicking on the&nbsp;<strong><em>Settings<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;tab.<\/li><li>Navigate to the&nbsp;<strong><em>Multimedia<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;tab.<\/li><li>Uncheck the boxes next to&nbsp;<strong><em>Allow Video Calls<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><em>Allow Audio Calls<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CSS-based functionalities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also various chat features that you can enable and disable through advanced CSS. If you want these features disabled, then you would need to have basic knowledge of CSS. Fortunately, we provide the codes that you only need to copy and paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hide the QR box<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paste this code if you want to hide the QR code of your chat room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To remove the button, add the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>#options #opts { display: none; }\ufeff<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep the button for chat moderators only, add the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>.moderator #options #opts { display: list-item; }\ufeff<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hide the chat date and time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each message by default will be stamped with the date and time it was sent. Use this code to remove this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>.message-date { display: none; }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hide the user icons in the user list<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All user icons will not be seen in the user&#8217;s list, only their usernames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>.user-image { display: none; }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Controlling the chat room by enabling and disabling chat features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Different chat rooms serve different functions. A public chat may not require as many options, whereas a members-only chat may. For instance, the export option is not used as frequently in public chat rooms. As a result, non-admin members can have the export option disabled. This is only one of many examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take command of your chat room when you enable or disable various chat features. It gives you more control over the direction of your conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/cp.rumbletalk.com\">try the RumbleTalk chat room for free<\/a> and tinker with these features.
