How to Whisper on Twitch?

One of the best things about Twitch is the huge collection of features and benefits for their users, such as Twitch Drops, Voting, Game Extensions, and more. Whispering on Twitch is also one of those features.

You may be asking yourself, “what is whispering on Twitch?” The best way to understand this is to remember if you’ve had to tell someone in a group chat on any social media platform to come to “Private Chat” in order to tell them something.

A Twitch Whisper makes this process disappear as you can talk to anyone privately across all Twitch without having to leave the current chat you’re both in. So, here is how to actually whisper to someone on Twitch.tv.

Send a Whisper Message on Twitch

The first thing you need to keep in mind whenever you want to whisper to someone is to make sure they are currently online and in the Twitch chat you’re in. Otherwise, there’s no point in sending a message to someone who’s not there.

Also, you can rest assured knowing that no one else in that chat will be able to see your whisper message except the person you’re sending it to. To do this, all you have to do is type /w [username] and then input the message you want to tell them privately without anyone else seeing it. You can use Whispers as much as you want and you’re not required to pay with Twitch Bits or anything of the sort.

As you type the username, it will autocomplete based on the last 5 people you’ve sent or received whispers from. However, if you want to send to a different person you can simply type in the full, exact username.

You can also block whispers from someone you don’t want to get them from. To do this, simply click on your profile icon and go to Settings > Security and Privacy. There, you will see a few options to check and uncheck, and select the specific users you want to block and stop receiving these messages from.

One last thing to remember about Twitch whispers is that you can only send them individually. You can select a couple of usernames and send the same message to all of them together and create a sort of group chat. On the other hand, if you are a member of a group chat, you can still send a whisper to an individual who is also a part of the same group chat.
