Chatting Permissions

Choose what's allowed in your chat by restricting messages from other creators, the use of Gifs, or choose if those in your live stream chat are able to send a private chat!

You can monetize your chat interactions in several ways:

  • Price per message: Viewers pay to send messages during the stream.

  • Tipped: Users send a tip to unlock chat access.

  • Subscribers only: Restrict chat to subscribers.

  • Media purchased: Allow chat access for viewers who have bought your media.

  • Private Lists: Allow only those that you've chosen to add to your list to chat

These permissions give you full control over how to engage and earn from your audience.
