Moderating an exhibitor/sponsor chat

In a Zoom Event, exhibitors and sponsors are automatically set as moderators of their specific chats and control the content of their chats. Exhibitor/sponsor moderators can remove messages within their own event lobby chats.

Note: Exhibitor, sponsor, and expo moderators are automatically assigned in their chats. Other moderators must be assigned by the host.
