As with other Xronos products, the Moderated Chat Auditorium is customizable via an administrative interface and works in all Java-enabled 4.0 browsers and above. The Moderator sets up a session including the log-in pages for the Guests, the Guest profiles, and any additional parameters.

Once a session starts, the Moderator fields questions from the Audience and passes them on to the Guest(s). Guests answer directly to the Audience. Many helpful controls are built in to aid the monitor in this rapid-paced environment. All participants can have a transcript of the session e-mailed when completed.
