Chat in Overlay Mode (Acessibility Sugestion)

  • Изменен

I have a friend with voice difficulties and we have a hard time finding games with chat availability for group chat or something similar. Then I thought:

Why not add a small chat window in Overlay mode?

An auxiliary function is not just for people who, like my friend, don't have the ability to use the microphone, but also for those who need to text or chat quickly while they are still playing. I left some models merely illustrative of how I thought this function for Overlay mode below.

  Thanks for your attention and sorry for any English mistake.

    Hi there I'm a little confused by this suggestion, Discord Overlay already has a Chat based text communication which can already be used within the came.

    The window can be ditched from the Server list by clicking the Pinned icon and can be displayed within the game.

    Clicking ] or whatever keybind you set will open the chat while still in game allowing you to type a quick message to a friend.

     

    More information please see the full Game Overlay 101 from Discord

    Yes, you're right. However this function only works on server channels but not in group calls from what I saw. But, good to know. thanks for the info.

    The feature does work in Servers, DMs and Group DMs.
    I don't use Group DMs much but from my few usages of it (some within last few weeks) overlay works fine
