Moderator tools
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

This section of the documentation refers to these individuals collectively as "Moderators."

The Moderator tools/Key button is normally visible only to the user types listed above.

If you would like to enable a password as part of your event security or logistics plan, please contact our Customer Success Team for more information.
