How to Add a Moderator on Kick
As your channel grows, managing chat alone gets hard. Making people you trust moderators keeps your chat in order.
Start for freeAdding a moderator
- Type /mod username in your own channel's chat.
- To remove a moderator, type /unmod username.
- You can also see and manage roles in your Creator Dashboard.
What moderators can do
- Delete messages.
- Time out or ban users.
- Change chat modes such as slow mode or followers-only.
Building a good mod team
- Write down your chat rules and share them with your mods.
- Pick moderators from different time zones.
- Leave repetitive work (spam, links, caps) to a moderation bot so your mods can focus on people.
- If you use a bot, make it a moderator with /mod too, or it cannot delete messages.

How many moderators do I need?
