Platform
all
App version
7.0.2
Feature
Hi, could you allow regular users to set themselves as observers, or voluntarily demote themselves to observer status?
Alternatively, you could add a lock icon in the sidebar that blocks interactions with the chat until it is unlocked. At the very least, this should block messages, attachments, audio, and video
