Moderation view is out of beta

The moderation view we released as a beta last autumn is now out of beta. It is the standard way to moderate chat on Videosync events, and it has a user guide: Moderation view.

What changed since the beta

• Private panel. Events in private mode get a help-desk style view: one conversation per viewer, status marks (new, in progress, done), filters by status and moderator, and private replies.
• Forward to presenter. Forward any question to the presenter’s slide changer or Web Studio, editing the text first if needed.
• Drag and drop. Drag a message onto Published, Presenter or Discarded, or reorder published messages.
• Message colours. Tag messages with a colour only moderators see, for your own workflow.
• Panels side by side. Chat, Polls, People and Private are panels, not tabs. Open several at once and drag the divider to resize them.
• Live preview. A floating window with the event page as viewers see it, for any production method, including password-protected and registration events.
• Backstage chat. A staff-only chat between moderators, Web Studio operators and speakers.
• Settings. Change your moderator name, copy the sharing link, and pick a text size for tablets and shared screens.

Where to find it

In Event Admin, open Event Quick Links and click Chat moderation. The link is marked New. Moderators do not need a Videosync account: share the link from the view’s Settings and they are in.

The previous moderation page is still available as Chat moderation (Legacy) for now. It is scheduled for removal, so switch your moderators over before your next event.
