Chats per game and the game bar
One chat per game#
WingHUD keeps a separate, ongoing chat for each game you play, plus one General chat for anything not tied to a specific game. Whichever one you're viewing is where your next message goes, and what "chatting about" refers to elsewhere in the app. A question in General chat that's clearly about Dota 2, World of Warcraft, Baldur's Gate 3 or Minecraft still gets WingHUD's knowledge for that game.
The game bar#
The game bar, above the chat, lists your games as chips: General first, then whichever game is currently detected running, then the rest of your games with saved chats or pinned in Settings → Games. Click a chip to switch to that game's chat — it's the same list as the game dropdown in the history sidebar, just one click away.
"Playing X · Chatting about Y"#
The line under the game bar tells you two things at once: which game WingHUD currently detects you playing, and which chat you're actually looking at — they're not always the same. Switch to an old Dota 2 chat while World of Warcraft is running, and it reads "Playing World of Warcraft · Chatting about Dota 2," so you always know which context your next message will use. When both match, it just says "You're playing X."
The Party chip and the friends icon#
The last chip on the game bar, Party, opens your party room - it's another chat, for your friends. While you're in a party, small overlapping avatars next to it show who's there, from any chat. The friends icon at the right end of the bar shows how many friends are online and opens the Friends widget; a small blue number on it counts friend requests and party invites waiting for you. See Friends & party for the details.
Moving a General chat question to the game's chat#
When you ask about one game in General chat, WingHUD answers there and offers to continue in that game's own chat, where it has the game's guide, your history for that game and anything else it knows about it. Click "Switch to the X chat" (or "Add X and switch" for a game you haven't added yet) and the conversation moves there with you. When the game's chat has a guide or your own data (your Dota 2 stats, your WoW character), switching also answers your question again there - no need to retype it. With the speaker on, the offer is spoken too - say yes to move, or no to stay. It shows once per game in a chat; close it twice and it stays away for a week, or choose "Don't show this again" to turn it off.
