Broadcasters have full control over who can interact in their rooms. If you're unable to type in chat, it's because the broadcaster has customized their chat settings to manage their audience.
Common Chat Restrictions:
Broadcasters can choose to:
- Limit chat by language – Only users speaking specific languages can chat
- Require token purchase – Only users who have purchased tokens can participate
- Friends & followers only – Restrict chat to users on their friends or followers list
- Block other broadcasters – Prevent other broadcasters from chatting in their room
- Silence specific users – Mute individual users temporarily or permanently
- Private chat only – Disable public chat entirely and use only private messages
- Apply severe chat restrictions – With certain filters
Important:
✓ These settings are controlled entirely by the broadcaster. CAM4 Support cannot override them or change how an individual room is set up.
✓ This is not a technical issue – it's how the broadcaster has chosen to manage their space and audience.
✓ Each broadcaster sets their own rules – what works in one room may not work in another.
If you can't chat:
- Check if you meet the broadcaster's requirements (tokens purchased, language, etc.)
- Verify you're not on the broadcaster's blocked or silenced list
- Remember that some broadcasters restrict chat from other broadcasters
- Respect the broadcaster's choices – they control their room environment
