# How to pause a broadcast

Broadcasts in the 'Running' status can be temporarily paused to prevent further messages from being sent.

* Navigate to the broadcast that you want to pause
* Locate the three dots at the right-most side of the broadcast overview, for more options

Things to Keep in Mind:

* Pausing is only possible while the broadcast is running
* Messages that have already been sent cannot be recalled
* The broadcast can be resumed later by clicking Resume
