Everyone can talk
Your guest drowns in noise, repeated questions and spam.
Let thousands ask. Show only the best.
Two rooms turn a noisy crowd into a question inbox that your guest can actually use.
A celebrity, 2,000 fans and one chat.
You have a popular guest and a lot of people with questions. Every simple setup fails in its own way.
Nobody can talk
A fully moderated room keeps the noise out and the audience too.
One moderator reads it all
They cannot tell the audience's questions from the guest's answers.
How it works.
You use two rooms. The audience sees one of them. Only your team sees the other.
| Room | Who is in it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| #live-chat | Audience, guest and hosts | The stage. Moderated: only people with a voice or operator status can talk. |
| #live-scan | Moderators and the guest | The question inbox. Secret, so the audience never knows it is there. |
Audience
Ask a question
Guests type in the stage room. Nobody there sees it, because the room is moderated.
Secret room
The inbox
Moderators see every question with the asker's name. Only they can read it.
Stage
Everyone reads
A moderator pastes a good question into the stage. The guest answers right below it.
An evening, minute by minute.
1
The audience asks
Questions are typed in the stage room. The room is moderated, so nobody sees them there. No noise, no pile-ups, no repeats on the screen.
2
Moderators see everything
In the inbox, every question appears with the name of the person who asked. Only the moderators can read it.
3
The best go on stage
A moderator picks a good question and posts it on the stage, where moderators have a voice. The whole audience reads it, and the guest answers below it.
4
The rest goes nowhere
Spam and repeats never reach the stage, and the guest is never interrupted.
Why it is built this way.
Two separate rooms
The stage stays readable and the inbox can be as busy as it likes.
A secret inbox
The audience cannot ask to be let in or flood it.
A clear label
The inbox is marked as the place questions arrive, so everyone on the team can see how the event is wired.
Want more than one screener? Event Management supports several levels of moderation, so a first pair of eyes can weed out spam before the producer picks what the host sees.
Setting it up.
The question forwarding is switched on for your event by ConferenceRooms staff. Ask us when you plan it. The rest is yours.
| Step | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate the stage | /mode #live-chat +m | Only people with a voice or operator status can talk on the stage. |
| Send questions to the inbox | /mode #live-chat +M #live-scan | Whatever guests without a voice type on the stage is shown in the inbox. |
| Mark the inbox | /mode #live-scan +N #live-chat | Labels the inbox as the room that receives the questions. It does nothing else. |
| Hide the inbox | /mode #live-scan +s | Secret, so it does not appear in any list. |
Give your guest the good questions.
