How To Create A Moderated Group Chat On Skype

Do you want to have a chat on Skype where you have more control over the members? Or do you want to only allow the admins to start a call on the conversation? In any case, you can create moderated group chats on the app that gives more admin permissions over regular groups. Check our quick guide below, and we’ll show you how to do it on your account.

In Skype, users can create group chats with their friends and contacts on the app. This option allows users to start discussions in a single conversation with multiple people online.

However, regular groups allow every participant to edit the chat details, photos, and information. If you want to have more control over the chat members and their information, you’ll want to create a moderated group on the app.

Here’s how to create a moderated group chat on the Skype mobile and desktop app.

How to start a moderated group chat on Skype

If you want to have a group on Skype with more control over the members, you can create a moderated group chat on the app. Admins of a moderated group can ban members, modify roles, and more.

Admins of a moderated chat can assign roles, manage chat members, and go start a group call with other participants. They can also customize the chat whenever they want.

On your computer:

1. Open the Skype desktop app and sign in to your account.
2. Click the “New Chat” option on the sidebar and select the “New Moderated Group” option from the menu.
   
   
3. Add the group’s name and photo (optional) and click the arrow icon at the bottom of the window to continue.
   
   
4. Add the members for the chat and click Done at the bottom to create the moderated group.

That’s how you create a moderated group on Skype. If you ever change your mind, you can always delete the group whenever you want.
