Public Text Chat Settings

Learn how to access and adjust settings for the public text chat in Orbit to manage your interactions and maintain a comfortable communication environment.

Access the Public Text Chat Settings:

1. Open the Menu: Select the menu button, represented by three horizontal lines (☰), located in the top right corner of the interface. This will open the main menu.

2. Select the User List: From the menu, choose the user list option, indicated by the ‘double profile’ icon. This will display a list of all users currently in your session.

Hiding a User’s Public Text Chat:

1. Locate the User: In the user list, find the user whose messages you want to hide.

2. Hide Messages: Press the text chat icon next to the user’s name. When the icon is red, their chat messages are hidden. This is useful for avoiding spam or offensive comments from specific users.

Showing a User’s Public Text Chat:

1. Locate the User: In the user list, find the user whose messages you previously hid.

2. Show Messages: Press the red text chat icon next to the user’s name. When the icon turns green, their chat messages are now visible again.

Additional Tips:

• Managing Multiple Users: If you need to hide or show messages for multiple users, repeat the process for each user individually.

• Temporary Hiding: Use the hide function during times when you need to focus or reduce distractions, and show messages when you want to re-engage in conversation.

• Respectful Hiding: Remember that hiding a user only affects your experience. If a user is being disruptive to the entire group, consider discussing it with a moderator or using other moderation tools (coming soon).
