Key Gaming App Features

Engaging Features

Express emotion with emoji reactions, keep conversations flowing with read receipts, in-line replies, typing, and user presence indicators, and add personal flair with URL enrichment, GIPHY, and multimedia content.

In-App Group Chat

Compete with external messaging apps by enabling social players to chat with select groups through a user-friendly interface that mimics traditional messaging apps.

User Presence Indicator

Eliminate guesswork for gamers looking to play with friends with user presence indicators to signify when they're online and prevent offline players from being spammed with messages.

Typing Indicators

Typing indicators create visual feedback that helps gamers prevent cross-talk over text chat and create a more natural flow to conversations that your players will love.

Livestream Gaming

Empower gamers to share their live gameplay with a larger audience by leveraging Stream’s Livestream API and Unity SDK.

Performant Solutions You Can Trust

enterprise scale

Improve Connectivity In Remote Areas

Stream’s global edge network ensures quality performance, our SFU cascading infrastructure broadcasts video with ultra-low latency, and our tech stack based on Go, RocksDB, and Raft ensures optimal performance for global delivery and mobility apps with up to millions of participants.

Protect Your
Gaming Community

Identify and eliminate bad actors and trolls from your game by moderating abusive chatter with AI-based text and image moderation, blocklists, and a Stream-powered moderation dashboard.

Boost Gaming Metrics

Monitoring player retention rates, engagement metrics, and conversions alone won't paint a complete picture of your game's performance. Stream provides gamer chat data that allows you to gain context around the actions that influence those metrics, broaden your player base, smooth out friction points within your video game, and stay competitive within the gaming marketplace.
