Slow mode

This feature comes with the livechat plugin version 8.3.0.

Introduction

As a streamer, you can choose to rate limit your viewers messages in the chat.

This can be really usefull to:

  • avoid message flooding
  • avoid unreadable chat if there are many viewers talking

You can set a number of seconds that users will have to wait after sending a message, before sending another.

This limitation does not apply to moderators.

Slow mode option

On the channel configuration page, you can set the slow mode option:

Channel configuration / SlowMode

This value will apply to all your channel’s chatrooms.

Setting the value to 0 will disable the feature.

Setting the value to a positive integer will set the period during which users will not be able to post additional messages.

For viewers

If the slow mode is enabled, users will be informed by a message.
