On the [channel configuration page](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/streamers/channel), you can set the "{{% livechat_label moderation_delay %}}" option:
![Screenshot of the channel option form, with a field to configure the moderation delay.](/peertube-plugin-livechat/images/moderation_delay_channel_option.png?classes=shadow,border&height=400px "Channel configuration / Moderation delay")
Setting the value to a positive integer will set the delay, in seconds, to apply to messages.Please avoid setting the value too high.Ideally it should not exceed a few seconds (4 or 5 seconds for example).
To modify the value for an already existing room, just open the room "configuration" menu (on top of the chat window), and change the moderation delay value in the configuration form.
Currently, this feature has one known bug: users that join the chat will get all messages, even messages that are still pending for other participants.However, messages sent after they joined will be delayed correctly.

This page describes the behaviour of livechat versions >= 10.0.0. There were some changes in the way we manage access rights for Peertube administrators and moderators.
You can use a chat bot, that will help you for moderation.Check [the chat bot documentation](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/streamers/bot) for more information.
You can access room settings and moderation tools using the [chat dropdown menu](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/viewers) at the top of the chat.
Starting with livechat v10.0.0, Peertube instance's admins and moderators have no special rights on rooms by default.However, they have a special button available on top of the chat: "{{% livechat_label promote %}}".Clicking this button will give them owner access on the room.
You can use [ConverseJS moderation commands](https://conversejs.org/docs/html/features.html#moderating-chatrooms) to moderate the room.When you open the chat room in full screen, there will also be a menu with dedicated commands on the top right.
