Delete a chat comment

If you do delete the comment, you will be prompted to confirm.

The comment will be immediately removed from the live chat, and will not appear in the Interactive Replay.

Tip: if you don't see the controls below, you probably need to enable Moderation tools.

Ban a user

If you need to ban a viewer from chat, click the message options button, then Ban User.

If you would like to unban any of these viewers, click their corresponding Unban button. A ban button will then appear in case this was a mistake.


Controlling a Sale in the Companion App

Navigate to the Shopify tab. You'll see a list of the Sales that have been created from the Studio. If one is already started, you'll see it highlighted and marked as Live.

Click View Sale to see its details.

Enabling Live Shopping

Click Start Sale to enable shopping on the Interactive Player. Note that this can also be done in the Pro Studio. You can subsequently disable shopping if desired by clicking the Stop sale button.

If you can't click Start sale, ensure there is a Studio session active.

You or someone else needs to open the Stage TEN Pro Studio. Once the Studio is open, you will be able to start and stop a sale from the Stage TEN Companion.

While the sale is active, you can Feature or Hide the various products. To end the sale, click on Stop Sale.

In the Interactive Player, you will only see the un-hidden products.
