Audio & Video Discipline

Hard Mute

The "Hard Mute"

Silence isn't a request; it's a setting.

  • Prevent Unmuting: Unlike standard mute, this disables the microphone button for all participants. Essential for webinars or lectures where interruptions destroy flow.
  • Request to Speak: When you're ready for Q&A, you can toggle permissions to allow users to unmute themselves, or unmute specific individuals who raise their hands.
  • Stop Video: Instantly cut the video feed of any participant who is displaying distracting or inappropriate content.
Permissions

Granular Permissions

Decide exactly what guests can do.

  • Screen Share Gating: By default, block guests from taking over the screen. Grant permission only to trusted speakers.
  • Chat Controls: Disable public chat to stop side conversations. You can restrict chat to "Host Only," ensuring questions come to you without distracting the group.
  • Rename Users: Fix typos in names or enforce a naming convention (e.g., "Team - Name") directly from the roster.

Perimeter Security

Waiting Room

The Virtual Bouncer

Vet your guests before they enter.

  • Lobby Mode: All new arrivals are placed in a Waiting Room. You can view their names, admit them individually, or "Admit All" once you are ready to start.
  • Message Lobby: Send a broadcast message to people waiting outside (e.g., "We are finishing the previous session, starting in 2 mins").
  • Meeting Lock: Once everyone is present, click "Lock Meeting." No one else can join, even with a valid link—preventing late disruptions and intruders.
Removal

Ejection & Bans

Handle bad actors swiftly.

  • One-Click Remove: Instantly kick a disruptive participant from the room. They disappear immediately without a confirmation prompt for them.
  • Permanent Ban: When removing a user, you can check "Prevent Re-joining." This blacklists their IP and session token for the duration of the meeting.
  • Report Abuse: Flag malicious users to our Trust & Safety team for platform-wide review.

Management Workflow

The Co-Host System

Don't moderate alone.

👑 Host: Owning the room. Starts/Ends meeting.
🛡️ Co-Host: Manages Waiting Room & Mutes.
🎤 Guest: Focuses on presenting/listening.

Delegate administrative tasks so you can focus on speaking.

Layout Control

Spotlight & Layout Control

Curate the visual experience.

  • Spotlight Video: Force everyone's view to focus on the speaker (or the CEO), overriding their local layout settings.
  • Hide Non-Video Participants: Clean up the grid by automatically hiding the black boxes of users who have turned their cameras off.
  • Follow Host View: Ensure participants see exactly what you see, keeping everyone on the same page during complex demos.

Moderator FAQ

If I mute everyone, can I unmute them myself?

For privacy reasons, you cannot remotely unmute someone's microphone (turn it on). You can only send a "Request to Unmute" prompt. They must click "Accept" to be heard.

What happens if I accidentally remove a guest?

By default, removed guests are banned for the session. However, you can go to the "Removed Users" list in settings to unban them and allow them to re-join.

Do these settings persist?

You can save "Meeting Templates." If you have a strict setup for "Weekly Classes" and a loose setup for "Team Happy Hour," you can switch profiles instantly.

Run meetings, don't let them run you.

Experience the difference of total control.
