QC Live Forum - (BASIC)
Build Joomla forums on unlimited domains with traditional Topics, Live Chat, 1 Live Section, 3 Live Categories, searchable Messages, notifications, and moderation.

Membership Overview
QC Live Forum Basic is the complete core community tier and may be used on unlimited production domains. Create one Live Section with up to three Live Categories per installation, publish traditional discussion Topics, and run real-time Live Chat Topics. When a Live Chat ends, its conversation is preserved in the same Topic as permanent, searchable Messages instead of disappearing with the live session.
Basic also includes Search and discovery, Unread, Following, My Topics, Starting Soon, on-site and email notifications, polls, attachments, reactions, mentions, guest posting with CAPTCHA and approval controls, content filtering and abuse controls, and the frontend Moderator workspace. Core email notifications use editable Plain Text templates with tokens. Live Broadcasts, synchronized YouTube Watch Parties, HTML email, Custom Email Templates, and Custom CSS are available in higher tiers.
