Chat & emotes

Live chat is where viewers talk during a stream. Sign in to participate.

Chatting

• Type in the chat box and press Enter to send.
• Your badges (subscriber tier, creator, moderator) appear next to your name.
• You can pick a chat name colour in your profile settings.

Emotes

Channels can have their own emotes. Subscriber emotes are unlocked when you subscribe to that channel. Type an emote’s code or pick it from the emote menu.

Chat modes

Creators and moderators can enable modes that change who can chat:

• Subscriber-only: only subscribers (and staff) can send messages.
• Slow mode: a cooldown between messages.
• Followers-only / shield mode: restrictions during raids or spam.

If you can’t send a message, one of these modes is likely active — subscribing or following may unlock it.

Moderation & conduct

Moderators can time out or remove messages, and the platform may filter spam or prohibited content. Be respectful — see the channel’s rules and the platform’s terms. If you’re banned from a channel’s chat, you won’t be able to post there.

Whispers

You can send a private whisper to another user from their profile or chat name, if they allow it.
