Moderate Active and Upcoming Live Topics

The frontend Moderation → Live subtab gives moderators one scoped queue for live-session records in scheduled, lobby, starting, live, ending, or archiving state.

Only sessions whose Topic belongs to a Category inside the moderator’s effective scope are counted or displayed. Actions still depend on the Category’s specific live moderation permissions and current state.

Use the Live Queue

  1. Open Moderation → Live.
  2. Review Topic type, Section/Category, Host, scheduled time, and current session state.
  3. Open the Topic when you need full context.
  4. For a currently live session, use only the controls your Category permissions expose.

Controls Available While Live

  • Lock/Unlock Chat when lock.live_chat is allowed.
  • Slow Mode when live moderation is allowed; the workspace offers Off, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 seconds.
  • End when live moderation is allowed, using the same authoritative End path as the Topic.
  • Participant presence details when live moderation is allowed.
  • Mute/Unmute only for non-Host participants in standalone Live Chat and only with mute.live.

Watch Party and Broadcast Boundary

The shared Live queue includes Watch Party and Broadcast, but their viewer media roles are unchanged. Participant Mute is intentionally restricted to standalone Live Chat; it does not become an audience-media control for Watch Party or Broadcast.

Ordering and Pagination

The queue uses 20 rows per page. Live sessions sort first, then remaining active/upcoming states by scheduled start and session ID. Ending/archiving sessions stay visible until they leave the active lifecycle states.
