Move a stream chat to a group server

Chat and IRC

You don’t actually have to create a group chat room in order to use whispers. You just need to:

  • Connect to one of the group chat servers

  • Issue the raw command CAP REQ :twitch.tv/commands to let the server know you want to receive data besides PRIVMSGs

  • Listen for the WHISPER commands. Most clients/libraries that are not specifically designed for Twitch will need to be modified to support this command so I recommend watching the raw commands coming in over your connection to see how it needs to be parsed.
