Chat commands

Chat has a set of slash commands you type directly in the message box. Start typing / and a suggestion list appears. Use the arrow keys to browse it, then press Tab or Enter to complete the command.

Send /help at any time to print the full command list in the room. The output is only visible to you.

Messaging commands

Command	What it does
/whisper [email] [message]	Sends a private message to one person. Other people in the room see a placeholder and cannot read the content. You can also use /tell instead of /whisper.
/reply [message]	Replies to the last whisper you received, without typing the email address again.
/invite [email]	Invites someone to the room by email address. They gain access to the room straight away.

Whisper messages appear with a tinted background and an italic whisper label so you can tell them apart from regular messages.

Inspect a person

Command	What it does
/inspect [email]	Shows a contact card for that person, visible only to you. You can also use /look or /finger.
/whoami	Shows your own contact card, visible only to you.

The card shows the person's name and, if they are in your Contacts, their company and phone number.

Custom emotes

Command	What it does
/me [action]	Posts an emote in italics describing your action. For example, /me stretches and yawns appears as an italicized line with your name.

Built-in emotes

Chat includes more than 80 named emotes. Type / followed by the name to use one. Many of them accept an optional email address as a target, which changes the message everyone sees. For example, /wave posts a wave to the room, and /wave alice@example.com directs it at a specific person.

A few emotes require a target. /trout is one: you must supply an email address.

The table below lists every emote. Aliases shown alongside the primary name also work.
