Chat terms

The chat term is the terms of use a viewer must agree to before they're allowed to participate in the chat. It usually contains some information about data privacy and codes of conduct. 

See the example below:

• Above "Start chatting": Privacy Policy URL. This will be a URL to your policy page, for instance, https://www.brand.com/privacy-policy
• Below "Start chatting": Chat Terms

Add your chat terms

In the dashboard quick start guide (Setup your Dashboard), you can add your chat term for your default language. You need to be a user with OWNER permission to be able to add and customize your chat term.

Bambuser provides example standard text for over +50 languages.

Add your Terms & Conditions/Privacy policy URL and the description. You can copy+paste the standard English chat term.

2. Click "Add custom consent text"
In this area, you can customize your consent text and change the URL and the caption for the hyperlink. Use markdown [test markdown](URL to hyperlink) to make it clickable

3. Add additional URL
In this example, we used markdown to add a second URL.

Multiple languages

If you're streaming in multiple languages, please navigate to Settings in your Bam Hub, select Translations, find the key you want to translate, and complete the translation.

How do I test it visually?

You can quickly test and explore what chat term and privacy policy URL is added by creating a test show in the dashboard, going live, and clicking open preview. By entering the chat, you can now see what is implemented.
