[Feature Requests] Launcher Chat Improvements

General Feedback & Requests
1

I’m really enjoying the new chat system in Epic Games Launcher but i feel like there can be more to improve it further.

1: Smileys: Smileys FTW! :smiley:
2: Request accept/decline message: When we login into Launcher it will be nice to see notification on who accepted or declined our friend request.
3: Chat history: There is no history of previous conversation. It will nice to see old chats based on date (Something like Skype).
4: Chat images: Obviously this is nice. For example Hangouts chat images.
5: Chat notifications: It’ll be nice to have a notification when we receive a new message.
6: Tabbed chat windows: This will be nice to switch between different chat windows.

Optional:
1: Custom Categories: Right now we have 3. Friends, Recent Players and Outgoing. If we are able to create custom categories that will be nice.
2: File transfer: Ability to transfer .uasset files? (But maybe this is too much)

If you have any more ideas, please do post it here.

Hey ,

We’ve put your list into a feature request for the launcher team to review. Looks like there are some plans for some of those things already :wink:

I would love the chat/friends list as a small chat window on the forum too! like how gmail has its chat window.

  • Definitely needs to make urls clickable when pasted into the chat.
  • Also, some type of media support like sharing images/gifs in chat.
  • Group chat with multiple users.
  • Notifications in editor? Possibly too distracting…? who knows.
  • Video/streaming could be interesting, but there’s a lot of other services already doing that.
