Steps
- Open the Santa HQ live stream and make sure the Live Chat panel is showing next to the video.
- Find a message from the person you want to block.
- Hover over their message, then click the three-dot menu (⋮) that appears on the right.
- Choose “Block” from the menu.
- Confirm if YouTube asks you to. Their messages disappear from your chat.
Good to know
- The person is not told that you blocked them.
- Blocking only changes what you see. If they are breaking the chat rules, report them too so our moderators can step in.
- You must be signed in to YouTube to block someone.
Elf tip: Can’t see the three-dot menu? Make sure the chat is set to “Live chat” and not “Top chat” filtering out their message, and that you’re hovering directly over the message.
