Tips and tricks for direct messages

  • Use the command /giphy and type a word to search for sweet gifs
  • Hover over messages to react with emojis
  • Not loving what someone is saying? Block them. 
  • Not sure what your username is? Open My Account from your avatar dropdown in the top right
  • Want to change your username or profile pic? Update your profile.
  • Once started, your DMs will show up any time you join a live event so you can watch with friends every time. 

Accept / Decline or Block a new direct message

Any time someone sends a DM for the first time, you can choose to accept or decline it. You can always choose to UNDO this if you want to message the fan again. Want the message to go away entirely? Block the other fan.

DMs can only be sent during live events or rebroadcasts and are not available when watching a replay. Learn more about events with replay.
