Integrating a members chat room into a website is simple with a group chat service like RumbleTalk.
A members chat room allows your website’s own users to log in automatically, thanks to single sign-on (SSO) technology. Adding this feature can be as easy as copying and pasting code into your site. For WordPress site owners, the RumbleTalk plugin includes this code, making setup as easy as checking a single box.

Choosing the right chat type depends on your group’s needs:
Group Chats: Smaller and more private, group chats are ideal for close conversations. Designed for up to 250 people, group chats often include family, friends, or teams. Members can join via invitation or a direct link.
Community Chats: These are larger, more public-facing groups, welcoming an unlimited number of members. Members Chat offers inclusive spaces, perfect for individuals who might be strangers but share similar interests.
Administrator Controls and Management
Admins play a vital role in managing group and community chats:
Group Chat: Admins can add or remove members.
Community Chat: Administrators have enhanced controls, including the ability to ban or re-approve users, designate co-admins, and moderate the chat to maintain a positive environment.
