Meta’s Threads is enhancing its recently introduced Live Chats feature and broadening user access, the company revealed on Tuesday. The enhancements encompass translation support, new tools for chat organizers, and additional functionalities.

With translation support, chat discussions become more accessible for users globally. Threads is also extending the option to initiate Live Chats to all “Community Champions,” defined by the company as users who enjoy significant followings within their communities, frequently engage in those communities, and maintain active conversations.

Hosts can now invite up to three co-hosts into their Live Chat to facilitate easier management of discussions. Threads states this new feature is akin to having a guest on your show or an additional voice to guide the conversation. Additionally, hosts are now able to delete messages for all participants, and the platform is exploring methods to enhance the visibility of host messages in chats.

Upon its initial launch, Threads faced challenges in competing with X for real-time discussions, lacking essential features such as strong search functionality, hashtags, and a chronological feed. Since then, Threads has integrated these features and is now further setting itself apart with Live Chats, designed for immediate engagement that even X lacks.

The concept behind Live Chats is to enhance Threads’ timeliness and relevance. Since the feature’s introduction, Threads reports hundreds of chats hosted nearly every day, with thousands of users participating. The features announced today respond to creator feedback, Threads indicates.

Through Live Chats, users can share messages, photos, videos, links, and emoji reactions. Up to 150 participants can engage actively within a chat. Once this cap is reached, additional users can still view the chat, react to messages, and take part in polls in “spectator” mode.

Threads also hinted today that desktop support is on the way and that pinned messages are being developed, both of which have been highly requested by users.

Earlier this month, Threads achieved 500 million monthly active users, nearly three years after it was launched as a rival to X. Over the past year, Threads has rolled out various new features such as DMs, ghost posts, and desktop messaging, contributing to the platform’s growth.
