want to have the option to clear all options without deleting them.
#options #clear { display: inline-block !important; }

chat. Add this code to remove it.

default appear in their group chat profile for others to go to their
Facebook profile. Use this code to remove that option.
#user-info .facebook-button { display: none !important;}
13. Change the emojis
Use the following code for each emoji, where the number 10 represents one of the emojis (from 1 to 33, excluding 6), and the URL represents the image you want to replace it with.

width: 0 !important;
padding-right: 30px;

height: 30px;
}
14. Change group chat administrators text color
Set yourself apart as the group chat administrator by changing the
color of your username and message text. By default the color is red.
In the user list
.admin .user-name { color: orange; }
In the group chat
.admin .message-user-name { color: orange; }
15. Change the text displayed in the guest login button
Replace the text “new name” but be certain to leave the (‘) marks
around it.
“color: #000” is the color of the text. In this case, the text will
be black. You can change this with any hex code.
“-20px” is the relative horizontal location of the text. Play with
this value until the text sits in the center.
#login-guest span {
color: transparent !important;
position: relative;
}
#login-guest span:after {
content: 'Join Us!';

19. Add an element above the chat in full screen
Many ask us how I can add a player on top of the chat area?
The following code will be added to your HTML (not on RumbleTalk css area) in full screen.
<style>
<inner element height> - the height of the extra element
#wrapper { height: 100%; }
#extra-element {
width: 100%;
height: <inner element height>;
padding: 0px;
}
#chat-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
<chat-iframe> {
max-height: calc(100% - <inner element height>);
}
</style>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="extra-element">THE CODE YOU WANT TO BE ON TOP OF THE PAGE </div>

</div>
20. Hide the QR box
When you want to hide the QR option in your chat.

handle;
handle = setInterval(
function () {
if (
!window.RumbleTalkChat ||
!window.RumbleTalkChat[hash] ||
!window.RumbleTalkChat[hash].mainDiv
) {
return;
}
clearInterval(handle);
if (hash == 'YOUR_HASH') {
throw new Error('Someone forgot to replace the place holder "YOUR_HASH" with your chat\'s hash');
return;
}
var img = new Image();
img.src = 'https://d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net/20190625083406/italic.png';
img.style.cursor = 'pointer';
img.style.position = 'absolute';
img.style.bottom = 0;
img.style.right = 0;
img.onclick = function () {
window.RumbleTalkChat[hash].mainDiv.parentNode.removeChild(window.RumbleTalkChat[hash].mainDiv);
};
window.RumbleTalkChat[hash].mainDiv.appendChild(img);
},
100
);
}());
