Some times, you have to protect your community from bad people.As an instanceadministrator, youcan choose to disallow federation for the livechat plugin.If remote actors behave badly, streamers, moderators and administrators can ban or mute users.
This plugin comes with a built-in [chat bot](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/streamers/bot/).Check its documentation for more information.
Youcan also plug in any other XMPP chat bot, using [XMPP External Components](https://prosody.im/doc/components).To do so, you just have to configure External Components access in the [plugin settings](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/admin/settings).
When using software as [OBS](https://obsproject.com) for youlivestream, youcan embed the chat in the video stream.Thisis for example useful for replays.
In the following screenshot, youcan see an OBS setup, where the chat is included as a source in the current scene (background color can be changed, and can be transparent):
Youcan even activate the chat for specific VOD videos.Thisis how the [demo](https://www.yiny.org/w/399a8d13-d4cf-4ef2-b843-98530a8ccbae) page works: it isnot a livestream, but I have activated the chat specifically for this video.
