Handling abusive members
These tools are designed to give you more control over your experience and help ensure a respectful and safe environment while broadcasting.
Mute: Selecting “Mute” will prevent the member from sending you messages during your current broadcast. The muted member can still watch your broadcast and tip you, but they won’t be able to send messages.
Kick: Selecting “Kick” removes the viewer from your current broadcast. The member will not be able to rejoin until you start a new broadcast. Click on “Kick” to remove the member.
Ban: Banning a viewer removes the member from your current broadcast and adds the member to your Blocked Member list. The member will not be able to rejoin any of your broadcasts until they are removed from your Blocked Member List.
