Tasks / To-do lists

資訊

This feature comes with the livechat plugin version 10.0.0.

Introduction

The livechat plugin includes a Task Application: a kind of “to-do list” feature where you can create task lists and add tasks to them. Every room’s admins have access to these tasks, so you can edit them collaboratively.

You can for example use the Task Application to:

prepare a list of themes you want to discuss during your livestream, so you can be sure you won’t forget anything
highlight questions from your viewers, so you can come back to them later without forgetting to answer them
…

Using the Task Application

Opening the Task Application

To open the Task Application, there is a “任務” button in the top chat menu:

提示

To have more space and better readability, open the chat in full-page mode.

Access rights

Every room’s admins have access to the Task Application (read and write access).

When you promote someone as room admin or owner, they gets instant access to the Task Application. When you remove admin or owner rights to someone, they instantly lose access to the Task Application.

Task lists

By default, there is one task list that has the same name as your livestream.

You can use the form at the bottom to create a new task list. You can also edit existing task lists using the edit button, or delete any task list. Deleting a task list will also delete all its tasks.

Task lists are sorted alphabetically.

All modification are instantly visible in all your browser tabs, and for all room’s admins.

Create a task from a chat message

You can create a task from a message in a chat, using the “創建新任務” button in the dropdown menu at the right of the message. This will open a dialog box where you can choose which task list you want to add the task into. The task name will be the user nickname, and the task description the message content.

Using this feature, for example, you can ask your moderators to highlight all chat questions, so you can see them at a glance during your livestream, and check them as answered.
