We have added moderation to user created chat rooms. You must create a chatroom to be its moderator.

Once you enter a public chatroom you have created you will have a Stickam mod logo next to your name, this signifies you are the main chatroom moderator. You can now kick any users out of your chatroom if you wish.

You can also choose another user in your room as a sub-moderator. Just select the user's name from the user-list and choose "Make Moderator."

Sub-mods will have a green Stickam Mod logo next to there name on the user list. They too can kick anyone out of the room, except for other moderators.

The Video Mixer is a new feature for host chatrooms. It allows you to broadcast any videos uploaded to your stickam account or added to your playlist in your chatroom for all viewers to see. You can now be your own VJ or watch your favorite video simultaneously with all your friends in your stickam chatroom.

You'll notice the new Mixer button added to the host chat control bar.

Clicking on brings up the Video Mixer window.

From here you can see any videos added to your Stickam playlist in the Video Mixer pulldown.

After choosing a video, click the Broadcast button to play back the video to all users watching your Stickam player. The video will continuously loop. You can jump to another video by selecting another from the pulldown list.

To change back to your webcam, click the Broadcast button again.

If you want your mic to be heard over the video, click the Voiceover check box before clicking the Broadcast Button. Real time directors commentary anyone?
