Moderator tools
You work hard behind the scenes to make each and every event a success. Let Breakroom help with our collection of moderator tools. Communicate with users, share streaming media, and more.
Overview
Breakroom's moderator tools offer event coordinators a virtual leg-up when it comes to attendee support and logistics. By accessing a single menu, you can message users as a whole or individually, teleport users to different locations within a Region, and field questions from audience members. You can also stream music and video to create a unique multimedia experience.
Accessing the moderator controls

Key event coordinators and stakeholders will have access to the moderator tools by default. This list includes:
