How do you run one chat room for a whole live audience?
Use one group conversation for the event and let the audience in as guests. A guest can read, send, and react to messages without joining the conversation as a member, so a single chat next to your stream holds far more people than the participant limit. Keep your hosts and moderators as participants.
- Participants are members of the conversation: they show in the participant list, can be @mentioned, and get email and SMS notifications.
- Guests have lightweight access: they can also share files and see who's typing, but they don't appear in the participant list.
- Basic allows 100 participants and unlimited guests per conversation, with up to 300 guests online at once. Growth allows 300 participants and unlimited guests, with up to 1,250 online at once. Enterprise plans set custom limits.
- Guest access works in the Classic JavaScript and Classic React SDKs and in the React Native and Flutter SDKs.

Customize everything and anything
TalkJS provides prebuilt themes you can use right away or customize to match your brand’s design and user experience.
Themes give you complete control over how your chat looks and feels—from overall layout and message styling to fonts, colors, and interactive elements. You can fine-tune every visual detail, extend functionality, or design a fully bespoke chat interface.
Whether you start from a default theme or build your own, TalkJS provides a flexible foundation to create a consistent and responsive chat experience within your product.
We were able to offload all messaging to TalkJS — hugely simplifying our development of an otherwise complex stack.
