## What
The Chat Team at Reddit has recently been rolling out a new feature they’ve been developing: subreddit chat rooms (see their r/modnews post). Admins and mods have been wanting to create an open dialogue and closer partnership so that features being developed on Reddit are specifically designed for our communities and our use cases.
## Why
The reason the admins want to work closely with us to enable chat rooms is the feature is still early and there’s still a lot of work to be done - but enabling chat rooms on real communities with real users will allow all of us (mods & admins) to learn what works, what doesn’t, and will help shape the future of this chat product on Reddit.
## How this will work
* In the next few days we’ll be adding chat rooms to r/socialmedia
* Some of you will be able to access our chat rooms, others of you will not (it’s going to be random).
* If you’re whitelisted you can access chat rooms in our sidebar (redesign only) or you can open chat (you will have a chat icon next to your mail icon) and you will have a new “Rooms” tab which will allow you to view and join our rooms.
* Anyone can be invited to chat rooms, so if you desperately want to be in a room then hopefully someone that is in the rooms can send you an invite and you’ll automatically be whitelisted
* Our subreddit rules still apply - if you break our rules in chat you will face the same consequences as breaking the rules anywhere else
* Don’t be alarmed if rooms appear, disappear, etc. We’re working closely with the admins and in some cases we’ll be bringing down the rooms, recreating them, etc. for various reasons that may arise.
