Chat Modules
The 123 Flash Chat Server releases several powerful chat modules. They can greatly enhance the chat but are not obligatory for every webmaster. Therefore they are not included in the standard package.
Users can choose these optional modules according to their needs.
All modules are just plug-ins based on 123 Flash Chat Server Software which works with the license instead of working alone.
The distinguishing feature of a "Moderated-Chat" ( moderation chat or moderate chat) is that questions submitted by participants will not be displayed publicly unless the Moderator or Admin approved/passed it.

With this module the administrator can monitor chat conversations in chat rooms invisibly. Without the "existence" of the admin participants can freely chat but the administrator can make sure that no one is being inappropriate in the chat room.

Have you ever thought of attaching a 'mini-chatroom' to your webpage to establish connections between your business and visitors? "Pocket PC or Banner Chat" could be the solution.
It is small and neat and looks like an animation but has full chat features (sending and receiving message in chat lobby, etc.)
It can be attached to any webpage of your site.
A tiny little chat room will encourage visitors to communicate with your representative. This will help them to gain a better understanding of your product or service which will definitely promote sales.

With audio-video module enabled, you can add webcam and voice chat.
In video-voice chat, 8k/sec bandwidth is used by default. And this bandwidth consumption is adjustable.
Unlike the basic text chat, this webcam chat module need user have a server enable the rtmp protocol, such as Flash Media Server, Flash Communication Server, Red5 or WowzaMediaServer.
If you haven’t obtained the flash media server or flash communication server yet, you can buy directly from macromedia: http://www.macromedia.com: Flash Media Server. Or you can use the Red5 server (a free Open Source Server) and you can try the WowzaMediaServer, too.
We recommend Flash Media Server to get the best performance.
