Hello mods,
Since we last *talked*, Reddit Talk has gotten a little but major update. As you may know, Reddit Talk[1] has only been available to moderators with access to the feature. While mods have really appreciated this, we’ve heard that a lot of you would like to share the mic with trusted community members to allow for more events, community connection, and fun!

That said, we’re now making it easier to add approved hosts to your talks[2]. As a moderator with *Manage Users* permissions, you can give trusted members the ability to create and host talks in your community. To add an approved member, go to mod tools, select *Add Talk Host* in the top right of your screen, type in the username of the redditor you wish to approve, and select *Approve user.* You can also send them a message letting them know they are an approved host.

You probably do, we recently turned on the feature in more communities! You can check by going through the post creation flow and looking for the *Talk* button or you can check your modmail to find a confirmation message. If you do not have access and would like to, please apply here[3].

How do I use this feature on old reddit? Or is this yet another feature that will cause a divide between old and new?

Hi, so I've submitted the form to apply for Reddit Talks at r/EliteEden, our subreddit, so how do I access the option now and when will it be made available to us? Thank you!~

why can't subreddits marked NSFW **NOT host reddit Talks**? /u/advocado20
We want to host **Harm Reduction talks** and are now prevented from doing that.
