How to Make People Mods on Skype

Skype includes a variety of chat commands.

Skype can create chat rooms from one-on-one conversations by adding additional people to the conversation. If you invite a large number of people to your Skype chat room, you can make other people moderators so they can help you manage your chat room. Moderators, known as "masters" in Skype, can moderate the chat room by kicking users from the chat, banning them from the chat completely or preventing them from talking. Only a chat room’s creator can promote people to the master role.

Instructions

1. Create a chat room by starting a chat with another user in Skype.

2. Add other people to the chat room by clicking the “+” button and adding them. You can also type the command “/add Name” into the chat box, replacing “Name” with a person’s Skype name. Press “Enter” to invite that person.

3. Type “/setrole Name MASTER” into the chat window, replacing “Name” with the Skype name of the person you want to promote. Press “Enter.”

4. Repeat this command for each person you want to promote to a moderator.

Tips & Warnings

• Moderators can use the “/kick Name” and “/kickban Name” commands to kick other users from the chat room or kick them and ban them from rejoining it. They can also use the command “/setrole Name LISTENER” to prevent a user from talking in the chat.

• Demote a moderator to a normal user with the command “/setrole Name USER”.
