How to Comment on YouTube Live Stream Chat - The Ultimate Guide

Welcome to our beginner's guide on commenting on live streams! In this video, we will be discussing the basics of commenting on live streams and how to make the most out of this interactive experience.
From understanding the live stream chat rules to creating engaging comments, we will be covering it all. Whether you're new to live streaming or just looking to improve your commenting skills, this video is for you.
So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of live-streaming comments! Don't forget to like and subscribe for more helpful content like this.
I've noticed a lot of people on KZbin, especially newcomers, have trouble commenting on live streams or engaging with the hosts of the live stream. So I go over all of the basics here.
In this video, I show you how to join and comment on live stream chats on KZbin streams using your desktop computer browser.
Live chat only shows up on KZbin watch pages -- not on embedded players.
LIVE CHAT VIEWS - You can choose between two views of Live chat at any time.
Top chat: This view filters messages such as potential spam to help make chat easier to read and more useful.
Live chat: This view is not filtered. It shows all chat messages as they come in.
Note: Live streams that are trimmed in the video editor will not have Chat replay.
How to send a message:
To post in live chat, click into where it says “Say Something” and begin typing. Then, click the send icon.
Respond to someone in the chat feed
You can respond to someone in the chat feed by mentioning their username.
Type “@”.
Begin typing their username.
Select the username.
The message sender will see their username highlighted in orange, which is visible only to the chatter whom you’ve mentioned. This makes it easier for them to see your response in the chat feed.
Message limitations
Viewers are limited to 200 characters and a maximum of 11 submissions every 30 seconds. Event owners are not subject to the frequency threshold. Viewers cannot post special characters, URLs, or HTML tags.

Hi. When using the @ symbol I do not have any names that pop up for me to select to directly chat with another person in the same livestream. Do I need to be on the desktop version of KZbin to see names pop up after clicking the @ symbol?

[@smashdriven1640]

Can you explain how to see a replay of the live chat for a live stream that's already over and is now a VOD?

[@DavidemetriLIC]

Thank you well done!🥇📈

[@mushroomsupremacy2081]

hi! Do you know if there is any way to use live chat on mobile, without chrome? ai have an account and such, but the chat menu seems like it doesn't even exist for me. Any tips? if not i'll just go download chrome. 😔 Thank you!

[@raymundo126]

Ty for helping

[@johnbender1364]

Used to, you could click either a persons name/image or the dots to the right in the live chat and choose to open a tab with their youtube channel. Then youtube removed that a couple/few years ago. It was really convenient for when someone asked a question or brought up something that it wasn't appropriate or convenient to answer/discuss in the live. Now it's often difficult, if not impossible, to communicate with people outside the chat, which is really unfortunate that they did that. You used to also be able to google a youtube channel and find many of their comments to videos over the years, so you could reply there to them to communicate, but also this has been for the most part removed. So now if you youtube search for that channel and it's image match, you often can't find it and even if you can, if the channel doesn't have an email or a community post or any videos, then unless they commented under the live chat video, you have no way to contact them.

[@johnbender1364]

I think all youtube channels used to have a built in inbox as well, what seems a decade plus ago now. It seems more gated to simply send a message these days. Even back then they could block you if you were a nuisance, but now even helpful positive communication or on some social media/marketplaces, lack of means to get help seems the designed order of the day.

[@KStosh]

I have never not been able to comment on a live stream that I am subscribed to and also a paying member. The chat box doesn't even show up until I swipe the comments box over. Can you help me get this resolved?

[@John_3-16_Psalm_34]

how do I load quickly something I have copied and trying to paste.? I've seen where people paste a huge comment and it comes in separetely the comments, I mean because they don't accomodate the entire answer so it has to go to the next space underneath, and it's done almost like automatically..mean while I have to do it manually....the copy and the pasting which takes way to long...and the comment gets separated by othrs commenting, and this person comments keep coming right on after each other, and there's no way he is doing the manual thing of copying an d pasting....do you kno what I mean....?

I'm not a creator, but when I want to watch a video that was live prior I can't find the chat replay. I don't see the chat if I'm watching a live video, either. I'm on an Android phone, if that makes a difference. I can see it on the KZbin app, but I prefer the browser version. TIA for your help.

[@SusanEggers-iz2jz]

What does it mean when your name comes up in red in live chat from somebody else leaving a comment and your name is in red thank you

[@CreateSaveInvest]

You can tag other people in the live stream by typing the "@" symbol before their name.

[@SusanEggers-iz2jz]

Thank you for that does the red mean anything?

[@johnbender1364]

@@SusanEggers-iz2jz I believe what you're talking about is just a feature so you will easily notice that someone said something to you. So it stands out from the rest of the chat. Other people won't see it color highlighted on their devices. It's just so you will notice somebody said something to you, and make talking to other people and receiving their communication to you, easier. That's just the default color.

[@Hello_8D]

Just because no one sees it it doesn't mean it wasn't sent millions of messages are sent so yea

[@nightryder16]

@@Gremscustomlogohistory I personally think I figured it out.. Ok hear me out.. I think what happened to me was during a livestream a trigger happy mod accidentally "hid me". U can block someone, time someone out for 86k seconds, or you can hide user. I think someone during a livestream hid me accidentally or purposely or after the stream was over and someone was watching the live playback, a mod seen my comment and hid me at that time I say that because I asked the creator if I was blocked and he said no. That's all I can think of. I created another account and that creator made me a mod so I couldn't be blocked, hidden, or timed out. Hope this helps 👍

KZbin is the worst.. comments on live tream are so annoying and KZbin doesn't make it clear on how to stop it. I been watching all these videos just to try to figure out how to turn of the comments so there not in my way while watching a live stream.. KZbin is trash

[@BettyAnon]

If you are on your computer, click on the X in the top right-hand corner above the chat comments, next to where it says Top Chat or Livechat. The usual video recommendations will then appear in the sidebar. Alternatively, simply click on the "full screen" symbol (at the bottom right-hand corner of the video, the four corners thingy) - the pesky comments will be placed below the video and you only see them if you scroll down.
