Chat History Design Guidelines
Style recommendations
Section titled “Style recommendations”Chat history is a highly requested optional feature that helps players pick up conversations where they left off—whether they're returning to a lobby or jumping back into a linked channel.
We recommend showing timestamps to give players better context about when messages were sent and seen.
Display logic
Section titled “Display logic”If one player is messaging from a game lobby or linked channel, then chat history is preserved, even if the other player is messaging from Discord.
When players return to a lobby or open a linked channel, we recommend surfacing 10 to 15 of the most recent messages to provide meaningful context. This isn't a hard limit—older messages can be revealed through scroll or loading more content, depending on your UI constraints.
