Allow other people to administrate your chat room.


If your room is popular you would want to keep it going 24/7, but you have to sleep and go to work etc, so you will need some help to keep the room open and running.


A chat room administrator can apply various restrictions on visitors to your chat room.  This includes the ability to 'restrict' a person from speaking, sharing video, or typing in the text chat area.


They can also 'bounce' or ban people from your chat room (depending on settings you make).


You can add or remove chat room 'admins' using the admin console.  To open the admin console, click on the menu icon at the top right of the chat room (it looks like 3 horizontal lines).  Now select 'show admin console' from the menu that appears.


Click on the 'admins' tab in the header of the admin console window.
