A live chat host can now invite up to three co-hosts to help run the room, hosting expands beyond a select few, and messages can be shared straight to the feed.

Threads announced a set of upgrades to its Live Chats on June 30, 2026, led by co-hosting. A person who starts a Live Chat can now invite up to three co-hosts to help run the room — Threads frames it as the equivalent of bringing a guest onto your show or adding another voice to help moderate the conversation. Co-hosts share moderation duties so a single host is no longer the only person keeping a busy chat on track.
Alongside co-hosts, Threads is widening who can host. Hosting access expands to "community champions" — the platform's term for users who are highly followed within a community, post there regularly, and keep conversations active — rather than being limited to a small, hand-picked group. The update also lets participants post a message from a Live Chat straight to their own feed, where it appears as a link back to the chat, giving the discussion a way to pull in more people. Threads added automatic translations so a chat can reach people who speak different languages, plus moderation tools including the ability to delete messages for everyone.
Live Chats are Threads' real-time group discussion format, capped at roughly 150 active participants who can send messages, with additional users able to watch and react. Threads says it is still building more, citing pinned messages, desktop support, and live translation as features in development. Treat exact participant caps and rollout timing as reported details that can shift; the confirmed changes are co-hosts (up to three), expanded hosting for community champions, feed sharing, translations, and new moderation controls.
A Live Chat is a goldmine that evaporates. You and your three co-hosts spend an hour fielding questions and dropping sharp takes, and when the room closes, all of that insight is gone unless you turn it into something durable. That is where Kompozy comes in — not to run the chat, but to mine it. Pull the strongest exchanges and answers from a session, feed them into Kompozy as a source, and the engine turns one live conversation into a Blog Article that captures the Q&A for search, a Carousel that lays out the best takeaways slide by slide, Quote Graphics built from the sharpest lines, and Text Posts sized natively for each destination.
The co-host angle maps neatly onto distribution. Each co-host brings their own audience to the chat; Kompozy lets you turn that shared session into content every one of them can post to their own channels, on-brand, without anyone rebuilding the assets by hand. And because Kompozy's autopilot fans the package across all nine connected platforms — including a recap back to Threads itself, plus Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, and the rest — a single Live Chat becomes a week of coordinated posts instead of a moment only the people in the room ever saw.

Feed the best exchanges from a session into Kompozy and it generates a Q&A blog article, a takeaways carousel, quote graphics from the sharpest lines, and platform-native text posts, then schedules and publishes them across all nine connected platforms — so the conversation lives on after the room closes.
