If you have an event that lasts for a few days, you may want to clear the Event Chat so as not to confuse your Attendees and help them keep track of communications.
You can choose to clear the Chat in individual sections of your event directly or you can do it through your Event Dashboard and clear everything all at once.
Through the Event Dashboard
If you would like to clear the Event Chat for all of your Stages, Sessions, and/or Expo Booths at the same time, this is the best way to do it.
Go to your Event Dashboard > Venue > Venue Controls and under the "Activity Panel Settings" you can select any areas of the event and then click the Clear Chat button.
A pop-up will ask you to confirm your choice. Click Clear chat again to continue, or Cancel if you've changed your mind.
Specific Areas within the Event
If you would like to clear the Chat for just some of the areas of your event, then it's best to do it directly in each specific area.
Head to the event area in which you would like to clear the chat. This can be the Event Chat, or within a specific Session, Stage or Expo Booth.
Here, click on the three dots to generate a small pop-up and click Clear chat.
A pop-up will ask you to confirm your choice. Click Clear chat again to continue, or Cancel if you've changed your mind.
Once you have cleared the Chat, you and your Attendees will see a note at the top of the Chat panel saying "The organizer has cleared the chat."
Accessing Chat history
Even after the Chat has been cleared, you can still access the Chat history by downloading the Event Chat Report from your Event Dashboard > Analytics > Reports.
You can download the chat report for individual sections of your Event.
