Terms & conditions

Info

This feature comes with the livechat plugin version 10.2.0.

Configuration

To configure the terms & conditions, go to the channel configuration page:

Viewers

When joining the chat, viewers will see the terms:

Info

Peertube instance’s admin can also set global terms & conditions. If so, these terms will be shown above your channel’s terms.

Info

Anonymous users will only see the terms & conditions once they have chosen their nickname (in other words: once they are able to talk).

You can change the terms content at any time, it will be instantly updated for all viewers.

Users can hide the terms & conditions. When doing so, terms won’t be shown again, unless you change the content.

Info

If your Peertube instance allows joining chat with XMPP clients, users using such clients will see the terms as chat messages, coming from a “Peertube” account. When you update terms, they will receive a new message with the update terms content.
