This is the pre-approved messages feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RumbleTalk&#8217;s special chat feature, known as &#8220;Moderated Chat&#8221; (or a <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/queued-chat\/\">Queued Chat<\/a>), enables chat administrators to approve or reject messages before they are posted in the chat room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RumbleTalk\u2019s main appealing point is that <strong>everything happens in one interface<\/strong>, so you don\u2019t have to juggle between separate admin and participant views. Approving or rejecting messages right within the chat itself saves time and creates a smoother workflow for both admins and participants. If that seamless moderation flow is your priority, RumbleTalk is definitely a strong choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Moderated Chat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Moderated Chat is an online discussion platform for <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/virtual-events-chat\/\">virtual events<\/a> or meetings. There are admins and audiences in moderated chat discussions. In this setup, members&#8217; comments or messages remain private until an administrator approves them for public viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190619051115\/approvemessage.gif\" alt=\"moderated q&amp;a\" class=\"wp-image-6956\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of users on the Moderated Chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Admin<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 The admin screens messages\/questions.
