Meta s Threads is adding new capabilities to its recently launched Live Chats feature while expanding access to more users, the company announced on Tuesday. The updates include support for translations, new tools for chat hosts, and more.

With support for translations, conversations in chats become more accessible to users around the world. Threads is also expanding the ability to start Live Chats to all Community Champions, which the company describes as users who are highly followed within their communities, regularly post in those communities, and keep conversations active.

Hosts can now also invite up to three co-hosts into their Live Chat to make it easier to manage conversations. Threads says this new capability is the equivalent of having a guest on your show or another voice to moderate a conversation. Additionally, hosts can now delete messages for everyone, and the platform is testing ways to make host messages appear more visually prominent in chats.
