Private Mod-to-Streamer Messages (Visible Only to Streamer)
As a moderator, there are many situations during a live stream where I need to notify the streamer about something urgent — like visible personal info, a suspicious viewer, or a warning before issuing a ban — but I can’t say it publicly in the chat.
Right now, there’s no fast or efficient way to send a private message directly to the streamer that they can immediately see while live. Using whispers or Discord takes too long, breaks flow, or requires them to check another app — which isn’t realistic during an active stream.
I’m suggesting a new mod-only chat feature where a moderator can type a command like:
/msg or /modmsg
…and the message will appear only to the streamer (and optionally the sending mod), highlighted in a different color, similar to how "First Time Chat" messages look.
🔧 Additional Enhancements to Improve the Feature:
Custom message color:
Let streamers choose the color of these messages to ensure they stand out.Optional sound alert for the streamer:
A soft audio notification that alerts the streamer when a private message is received.Panel in Stream Manager:
A new section inside the Stream Manager showing recent private messages from mods, helping the streamer keep track easily.Streamer reply option:
Let streamers reply privately using a command like/replymod, visible only to the sender mod (or all mods, depending on settings).
This feature would greatly improve real-time moderation, reduce disruption during broadcasts, and support safer, more efficient communication between mods and streamers.
Thanks for considering this!
