What are room rules and invites?

Room rules set the tone

When you host a room on Linga Chat, you can set room rules that everyone agrees to. Rules make expectations clear from the start — which language to speak, the topic to stick to, and how to treat one another. Clear rules keep a room friendly and focused, which matters most for learners who feel shy about speaking.

Invites bring in the right people

Invites let you choose who joins your room. Instead of waiting for strangers to wander in, you can invite friends, language partners or people at a similar level, so you start with a group that fits the conversation you want.

Why both help your practice

• Respectful space — rules everyone accepts keep things comfortable.
• On-topic conversation — a clear theme makes it easier to follow and join.
• Right level — invite partners who match your level for balanced practice.
• Safety — rules work alongside reporting and blocking to keep the community respectful.

Room rules and invites are part of the free hosting tools in Linga Chat and work on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows, for both live voice rooms and group video rooms. Together they let you shape the kind of practice you want, whether that is a calm beginner session or a lively topic room, so every conversation feels welcoming from the first minute.
