Conferencing is possible through the moderation facilities of channels. The “conf” channel and alias are available for conferences, although any channel can actually be moderated.
Channels have a few extra commands available when they are being moderated:
- chan conf - shows the moderator, the current speaker, and whether your hand is raised to speak. The moderator will see a list of people with their hands raised.
- chan conf /raise - raise your hand to speak
- chan conf /lower - lower your hand
- chan conf /call - for moderator use: call on the first person in the list of people with raised hands
- chan conf /call joe - for moderator use: call on joe to speak (joe must have his hand raised)
- chan conf /moderate - for admin and moderator group member use: begin moderating a particular channel
The current speaker and the moderator are the only people allowed to communicate over the channel (using normal messages, emotes, etc.).
