Live stream chat moderation in real time
Live streams on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube generate comment velocity that no human moderator can handle. FeedGuardians watches every live in real time and hides harmful messages before they reach the audience.
Start Free TrialLive streams are the highest-velocity comment surface on the internet
A brand live stream, product launch, or live shopping event can generate 10+ comments per second at peak. No human moderator can read that fast, let alone make decisions. Native platform live chat moderation is limited to pre-set keyword filters and manual moderators clicking as fast as they can. The result: harmful comments are visible to every viewer for the seconds or minutes it takes a human to catch them — and screenshots live forever.

What goes wrong during a live stream
Screenshot-ready harmful comments
Every visible harmful comment during a live stream is a potential screenshot. Even if caught 30 seconds later, the screenshot has already been taken and is being shared.
Live shopping cart abandonment
Live shopping events are highly conversion-sensitive. A single visible "this is a scam" comment under a live cart can tank conversion for the remaining minutes of the stream.
Coordinated raid attacks
Live streams from brands or creators attract coordinated raid attacks where groups of accounts flood the chat with identical harmful messages simultaneously.
Exhausted volunteer moderators
Most brands rely on 2–3 volunteer moderators during live streams. They burn out within an hour, miss most of the harmful messages, and cannot sustain the event at scale.
Four phases of live streammoderation
Stream-specific rule set
Activate the "Live Stream" rule set with elevated moderation aggression. Pre-load common harmful patterns (raid attack templates, known troll handles) and enable the anti-raid detector.
Real-time chat moderation
Every message entering the live chat is processed within 500ms. Harmful messages are deleted before they appear to viewers. Borderline messages are flagged for human moderators to review.
Dynamic escalation
If comment velocity spikes beyond normal, the system automatically escalates aggression. If a raid pattern is detected, the system enters "lockdown" mode and requires human approval for every new commenter.

Live Stream questions
FeedGuardians supports live chat moderation on TikTok Live, YouTube Live, Instagram Live, and Facebook Live. Every platform's live chat has its own API characteristics, and FeedGuardians handles the differences transparently.
Typically under 500 milliseconds from when the message is posted to when it's deleted from the chat. The window in which viewers can see the message is small enough that most never do.
Yes. Live shopping events are one of the highest-ROI use cases because conversion is extremely sensitive to chat quality. A single visible "this is fake" comment during a live sale can tank conversion for the remaining minutes of the stream.
A raid is a coordinated attack where dozens or hundreds of accounts flood a live chat with identical or similar harmful messages in a short window. FeedGuardians detects the pattern (unusual velocity + semantic clustering) and automatically activates lockdown mode, requiring human approval for new commenters during the attack.
Yes. FeedGuardians adds your human moderators to a priority review queue that they can work through during the stream. The AI handles the volume, humans handle the edge cases.
No. Live stream chat is included in the standard FeedGuardians subscription. There is no per-stream or per-viewer cost.
