YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Game chat SDK FAQs

Discuss your project

What does a game chat SDK provide?

It supplies the messaging layer for player conversations, including direct and group messages, rich content and custom messages. Your game still manages gameplay, matchmaking and session state.

Which game chat SDK platforms cover Unity and Unreal?

Tencent RTC publishes Chat SDK guides for Unity and Unreal. Check the current engine and platform requirements before choosing a package.

Can the game chat SDK separate party and guild chat?

Yes. Map temporary parties and persistent guilds to an appropriate group model. Keep membership synchronized with your authoritative game backend.

Can game chat SDK invitations open a match in my game?

Render a custom invitation message and connect its action to your game service. Validate access, capacity and expiry when the player accepts.

Does this include in-game voice chat?

Voice is a separate integration scope. Tencent RTC offers an in-game voice product; review its requirements and pricing alongside the text Chat plan.

How do I add a game chat SDK to Unity or Unreal Engine?

Use the engine-specific integration guide and package. Connect authenticated player IDs, then handle message events in your game’s UI and lifecycle.

Can a game chat SDK connect team, party and guild channels?

Map your game’s membership rules to supported Chat group operations. Your game server owns team changes and match authority; update conversation access when those memberships change.
