Chat Room Administrators or 'Admins'

What is a chat room moderator or 'admin'?

Most chat rooms will have moderators or 'admin'. A chat room admin is distinguished by having an @ sign precede their name. A chat room 'admin' helps to control the chat room. They will direct the topic of conversation or control who gets to speak to the chat room on the microphone next.

'Admin' of chat rooms have various controls that allow them to control features and speaking order in the chat room. They can use the 'red dot' to control who can speak, send video, or send messages in text. A chat room 'admin' can also 'bounce' or 'ban' a user from the chat room if they are being offensive or disruptive.

There are two types of chat room admins. Regular chat room admins can do all of the above. 'Super' admins can also add and remove other admins of the chat room. This is usually used in larger chat rooms where a large group of people take responsibility for keeping the chat room open around the clock.

With the exception of official Matrix Messenger help lobbies and 'special feature' chat rooms, all chat rooms on Matrix Messenger are run by ordinary users.

At times you may find that the 'admin' of a particular chat room are not friendly or do not run their chat room well. Please understand that Matrix Messenger does not endorse or condone abusive behavior by those who run or 'admin' chat rooms.
