Template:Chats==How can I enable guests to participate in a chat activity?==

Create a visitor role with the capability mod/chat:chat allowed, then create an account and assign it the role of visitor. Guests can then share this visitor account.

(The guest role has some special functionality, for example when a guest attempts to participate in a chat, they obtain the message "The chat is not open to guests. Would you like to log in now with a full user account?". Despite the permissions interface suggesting otherwise, it's not possible to modify the guest role to allow guests to participate in chat activities.)

How can I use audio chat?

Moodle itself does not yet include an audio chat solution, due to the large server requirements to implement a standalone solution.

However, there is a choice of third party modules that you can install into your Moodle to achieve this:

  1. Dimdim - full audio/video conferencing http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=932
  2. Elluminate Live - full audio/video conferencing http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=557
  3. Wimba - full audio/video conferencing http://www.wimba.com/products/moodle_integration/
  4. Marratech - full audio/video conferencing https://docs.moodle.org/en/Emeeting_module
  5. Nanogong - for recorded audio http://gong.ust.hk/nanogong/moodle.html
