Email Preferences

Powerchat sends out various emails for the purposes of updating our users on important events or service announcements as well as for various operations of the service.

On the Emails tab of the account dashboard you can opt in or out of receiving various emails by type.

The first toggle will allow you to opt in or out of receiving updates regarding the Powerchat.Live service, including maintenance announcements, new features, etc. For streamers (and those who just wish to stay in the know), we strongly recommend remaining opted in to this email list. All accounts are opt-in by default.

The second toggle will allow you to opt in or out of receiving transactional email alerts for when streamers go live on their various platforms. These email alerts will only be sent out at a maximum rate of once per hour per streamer, so no need to worry about being spammed. Still, if you wish to stop receiving these you can toggle the option off.

Once a toggle setting has been changed simply click the save button at the bottom of the page and your settings will be updated.
