Moderating your live stream
As the host you can mute or remove a viewer during your stream, and moderators can help you do it while you concentrate on broadcasting.
- Mute — stops the person commenting while leaving them watching.
- Remove — takes the person out of the stream.
A stream has roles: host, co-host, guest, moderator and viewer. Give someone the moderator role when you want help — on any stream with a real audience, having one person watching the comments makes a difference.
If you would rather not have comments at all, you can turn them off for the stream when you set it up. You can also set a maximum number of viewers.
Removing someone protects your stream and nothing else. If what they did breaks the rules — not just annoys you — report it as well, with the stream's report option.
Broadcasts that break the community rules can be ended and may lead to account suspension.
