How to Pin Comments During a Livestream

1. Enable Comment Moderation

  • Before you start the livestream, ensure that the comment section or live chat feature is enabled for your stream.
  • You may need to assign moderators if you expect a large number of comments or if you want to maintain control over what appears in the chat.

2. Start the Livestream

  • Begin your livestream as usual on Tebtalks. Make sure you're logged in as the host or have necessary permissions to manage the comments.

3. Find the Comment to Pin

  • As the livestream progresses, comments will start appearing in the live chat section.
  • Scroll through the comments and find the one you’d like to pin. This could be:
    • A question you want to address.
    • A comment with important information.
    • A particularly engaging or positive comment that you want to highlight.

4. Pin the Comment

  • Hover over the comment you wish to pin (or tap and hold on mobile).
  • Look for a three-dot menu or options icon next to the comment.
  • Select Pin Comment from the options available.
  • Once pinned, the comment will be highlighted at the top of the chat or in a dedicated pinned comments section, making it visible to everyone watching the livestream.

5. Unpin or Change the Pinned Comment

  • If you want to unpin a comment, simply hover over it again and select Unpin Comment from the menu.
  • You can pin a new comment by repeating the process and pinning another comment.

6. Use Pinned Comments to Engage Viewers

  • Pin important questions during a Q&A session for everyone to see.
  • Pin important announcements such as event changes, links, or calls to action (e.g., “Check out our website for more info!”).
  • Pin positive feedback or fun comments to create a positive atmosphere and encourage engagement.

7. Monitor Comments

  • Keep an eye on the pinned comments throughout your livestream to ensure they’re relevant and engaging.
  • You can update the pinned comment as the stream progresses to keep the conversation fresh and interactive.
