Use a session’s Broadcast View to moderate Chat, Q&A and Polls while attendees watch. Event owners and team members with event dashboard access can manage interaction across the event. Ordinary attendees and presenters do not automatically have those controls; room-specific permissions also matter.
Choose who can moderate
Use an event team member with dashboard access when they need to moderate across the event.
For a HeyStream broadcast, assigned hosts, co-hosts and moderators can have moderation for their room. An ordinary presenter assignment does not automatically grant it.
The attendee moderator email setting assigns a moderator identity, but the label alone does not guarantee room management. Confirm the intended person’s controls before the session.
Use Require Q&A Approval? in Event Settings > Event Experience > Live & Replay Experience to require approval before questions are visible.
Open the live tools
Go to Content & Schedule > Sessions and open the session’s Preview.
Choose Broadcast View from the preview banner.
Use the Chat, Q&A or Polls tab and the management controls available to your role for that room.
After the session
Chat and Q&A become read-only after the broadcast’s chat period ends. From Sessions, Chat Transcript opens read-only chat; Manage Polls opens that session’s poll manager. An assigned speaker or host’s poll-management access does not also grant Chat or Q&A moderation. Session and stage reports offer transcript and poll exports. For event-wide tools, see Access Audience Tools.
