We know you want to make your audience feel seen by displaying their messages live in your broadcast. Plus, who doesn’t like to see their comment on screen? But we also know that there are probably some things you might not want to be displayed live for everyone to see, that’s why Effi’s chat elements feature an array of filtering options so you can filter out everything you don’t want, leaving all the fun and awesome messages in. Let’s break it down.
Filtering Options
Profane and harassing words: use this to filter out a pre-selected list of words. To see the list, click here.
Enter additional words to filter: add your own list of words you would like to filter or add additional words to the pre-selected list.
Hide URLs: will filter out all links from the chat.
Hide users: you can add specific usernames you would like to filter out of your chat.
How to enable filters on Chat
You can find all filtering options in the settings menu of your Chat element.
Once you’ve added a chat element to your scene, on the right-hand side you will see a menu for Design and another for Settings. Choose Settings and select which of the above filtering options you’d like to enable in your stream.
📝 you will be able to change these options at any time and the filter settings you choose now will not carry over to other events.
How to enable filters on Chat Pro
You can find all filtering options in the moderation panel of your Chat Pro element.
Once you’ve added Chat Pro to your scene, on the right-hand side you will see a menu for Moderation and a link to your Moderation Panel where you will be able to moderate and curate your chat. Scroll down to find the above filtering options and choose which you’d like to make use of for your stream.
Filtering your chat is super simple and customizable with Effi. It is also worth noting here that each platform you plan on streaming to — YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc. — has its own set of filtering options so if you’ve already set all your filtering up on those platforms, those settings will carry over to your Effi event.
