Performance - Chat

Adjust chat responsiveness and load handling to suit your system and preferences.

Updated over 11 months ago

If you want your chat to feel snappy or need to optimize it for better performance on lower-end devices, this section is for you. The Performance tab in the 7TV extension settings gives you control over how quickly messages load, scroll, and how many are stored at a time.


Message Batching

Adjusts the delay between rendering new messages. Lower values give you ultra-responsive chat updates, while higher values help reduce lag or stuttering during heavy message flow. A higher batching value can make your chat more readable, but slightly less real-time.


Smooth Scroll Chat

When enabled, new messages smoothly slide into place instead of appearing abruptly. It adds a slick visual effect but may affect overall performance β€” especially on less powerful systems.


Message Buffer Capacity

Defines how many messages can be stored in the chat history at once. A higher number means you can scroll back further, but it could impact performance, especially during busy streams.
