Hello, I’m wondering why there are no chat together with embedded vods? Is it deliberate not included or is it technical stuff? ---

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. If I’m understanding correctly, you’d like to embed chat ? [https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/chat](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/chat) ---

Hello, If I understand that right it only works for Live streams but I am wondering about chat replay for/together with a vod/past broadcast. ---

You are correct that including chat and video in one embed is only available on live streams via the “Embedding Everything” option: [https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/everything](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/everything) Unfortunately though, I do not have further context to say why this is not available for VODs or if it a product to be considered. I would suggest adding this to UserVoice for our product feedback: [https://twitch.uservoice.com/](https://twitch.uservoice.com/) ---

If its a VOD vs live channel, the docs say chat playback is not available on VODs. ---
