Feature Announcement: Pinned Messages
Blog post from Stream
Pinned messages help users quickly access important information by keeping selected messages visible at the top of a chat platform, which is particularly useful as other messages disappear into the scroll. This feature, recently integrated into Stream Chat due to customer demand, especially from the Livestream segment, allows users to pin, unpin, and list multiple messages, supporting both permanent and temporary pinning. Examples of its use include presenters sharing slide decks during digital events, sponsors paying for featured messages, team members highlighting essential details in channels, and moderators posting community guidelines. The feature is designed to prevent the loss of crucial messages amidst new activity, reflecting Stream Chat's commitment to customer feedback.
