How to Whisper on Twitch 2021

How to Whisper on Twitch 2021.

While streaming on Twitch is meant to show your face and skills to the public, there are times when you might want to play something close to your chest. For example, perhaps your favorite streamer accidentally left something with personal information in the field of view of the camera.

The last thing you need to do is draw attention to him by blurting this out in a lively chat. What do you do? Whisper to them. There are many ways to whisper to a user on Twitch, but the good news is they are all simple.

How to Whisper a Twitch User in the Browser

Whispering to someone in a browser is a little different from whispering to someone on a mobile phone. Here’s how to get in touch – carefully, of course.

Enter / w @Username

The easiest way to whisper to a user on Twitch is to simply type / w @username. This method opens a private chat window between you and another user. Be aware that you will need to spell their username correctly or you will get an error.

If you’ve whispered to someone on Twitch before, typing the @ symbol will automatically add the names of everyone you spoke to. You can just click their name to whisper to them, or you can manually enter the rest of the name yourself.

Use their username

An easy way to talk to a user in the same chat is to click their username. This opens up a dashboard that gives you the option to add the user as a friend, whispers to him, or even gifts him a subscription. If you want to whisper to the user, just select Whisper.

As with typing / w, this method opens a private chat window between you and another user.

Use the Whisper button

You can also click the Whisper button in your menu. In the upper right corner of the screen, to the left of the Get Bits button, there is an icon that looks like a chat window. Highlight it with your cursor and it will show Whispers. Click this button.

A list of people you whispered to in the past will open. If you want to talk to someone new, just enter their username. If you don’t remember the full name, that’s okay – just enter what you can remember and you can view a list of users with the same name.

How to Whisper a Twitch User on Mobile

If you’re watching live games on Twitch during your lunch break, you can send a quick message from your phone. Here’s how to whisper to a Twitch user from your mobile device.

Enter / w @Username

Messaging from your mobile device is much like messaging in your browser. Just enter / w @Username. Once you enter the first letter of the username, a list of possible matches appears. Keep in mind that this method only works when someone is on the same channel as you.

Tap the social media icon

In the upper right corner of the screen, next to the search button, there is an icon that looks like a pop-up message. This is the social media icon. Tap this icon to open a list of all whisper conversations you’ve received or sent in the past.

To whisper to someone this way, click Start Whisper in the upper right corner. You can select a user from the list or search for a specific username. Clicking on the username will open a window where you can send a message or view previous messages.

How to Block Twitch Users

Like everywhere else on the Internet, there are quite a few users on Twitch that you don’t want to chat with. Maybe someone is trying to stream you, or maybe they are unhappy that you beat them in Fall Guys . Whatever the reason, if someone harass you in chat, here’s how you can block them.

How to block the browser whisper window

When you whisper to someone from the browser, a small window appears next to the main chat window. There is a gear-shaped icon at the top of this window. Click this icon and select “Block @Username” so that this person no longer sends you whispers.

How to block someone in the chat window

Block a Twitch user if someone insults you in Twitch chat and you no longer want to whisper to them.

Choose their username. When the options bar appears, select the three dots to the right. An additional menu will appear where you can block users. If they are particularly unpleasant, you can also report them.

Alternatively, you can go to Settings> Security & Privacy and select Block Whispers from Strangers.

How to Block Someone on the Twitch Mobile App

If someone bothers you through the mobile app, you can take the following steps.

Block username

If you touch someone’s username on the Twitch mobile app, a second window will open. At the bottom of the screen there is an option “Block user”, and also inform about this user.

Block from whisper window

If you are talking to someone now or have already written to them in the past, open the chat window and tap the gear in the upper right corner. At the bottom of the screen, there is an option to block the user.

You can also change your privacy settings through the Twitch mobile app.

Tap your icon in the upper-left corner and go to Account Settings> Security & Privacy, then turn on the Block Whispering From Strangers switch.

Follow Social Etiquettes

Twitch is also about the community. This is why you should always play by polite conversation rules, even if Whisper is a private messaging system. Along with Twitch Emotes, this is a great way to make friends on the platform.
