Restrict public messaging
As a moderator, you can restrict participants to chat publicly.
Go to Settings in the navigation bar.


A popup window will appear showing three categories. Go to PARTICIPANTS > Can chat publicly.

Turn it on to allow participants to chat publicly during the session.

Turn it off to prevent participants from chatting publicly during the session.

![]()
This will only affect participants. Other moderators in the session can still chat publicly during the session. These settings have no effect in Rooms since all users become moderators there.
