Live Chat Basics
Live chat is turned on by default and shows up to the right of the live stream’s video player. After the live stream ends, the chat log will be archived and viewers can replay the video along with the live chat.
Live Chat Views
Viewers can choose between two views of Live chat at any time.
- Top chat: This view filters messages such as potential spam to help make chat easier to read and more useful.
- Live chat: This view is not filtered. It shows all chat messages as they come in.
Live Chat Badges
Live chat badges identify the Streamer and Moderator. Vera House will be the Streamer, and a few members of our Development Team will be moderators.
Send a Message
To post in live chat, click into where it says “Say Something” and begin typing. Then, click the send icon.
Respond to someone in the chat feed
You can respond to someone in the chat feed by mentioning their username.
- Type “@”.
- Begin typing their username.
- Select the username.
The message sender will see their username highlighted in orange, which is visible only to the chatter whom you’ve mentioned. This makes it easier for them to see your response in the chat feed.
Message Limitations
Viewers are limited to 200 characters and a maximum of 11 submissions every 30 seconds. Viewers cannot post special characters, URLs, or HTML tags.
