Messages with your banned words are visible to their author only, an anti-spam delay spaces out messages once you turn it on, and your moderators act while you pitch.
Free account, no credit card required
Here is how webinar chat moderation works in Welya: rules you set filter and space out messages, your team acts on any message or attendee, and the chat stays open for everyone else.
Moderation starts in the webinar settings, so your rules are in place before the first attendee joins.
While you pitch, your rules run in the background and your team handles the rest from the chat.
One CSV file holds the whole chat of the session.
A word filter and, once turned on, a slow mode run automatically; a display rule keeps attendee links as text.
When one attendee spams or derails the chat, you act on that person only.
“What's included in the offer?” With its question mark, it stands out for your team in a fast chat.
A dedicated moderator handles the chat while you stay focused on your pitch.
Change the chat setup as the session moves from your content to your offer.
The filter applies your list, the anti-spam delay spaces out messages once turned on, and your moderators handle the rest. Set up moderation for free, no credit card required; you only need a subscription to go live in front of your audience.

You can ban them from the chat, from their message or from the attendee list. Their messages disappear for the roomTo be confirmed: , and they can still watch the live session. You can unban them anytime.
A workspace admin downloads the full session chat as a CSV file. Deleted messages, messages filtered by your banned words and messages from banned attendees are included and flagged.
No. Moderation is included on every plan, and the free account, no credit card required, lets you set it all up. You only need a subscription to go live in front of your audience.
