\

**We are currently having issues with the Global Chat part of ServerMate**, this service may have *regular downtimes* until we are able to resolve this issue
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please remember to follow our [rules](https://devlinbots.gitbook.io/servermate/info/terms) when talking in global chat!
{% endhint %}

## Step-by-step

### 1. Create a channel called `#global-chat` in your server

This channel will act as the send/receive location for all messages in ServerMate's global chat log

### 2. Chat!

Yes, it's that simple! Send a message and it should be seen by all of the servers with the `#global-chat` channel! When someone sends something from another server, ServerMate will post in the channel with the messages from the other server! 

{% hint style="info" %}
Here is how messages from other servers look like:\
\
`Server Name`: **Username**: Message
{% endhint %}

**Well,** now you know how to chat globally, why not apply for verification on our discord server? It's free and gives you a small tick next to your username in chat! Join our discord server and fill the form out [here](https://invite.gg/db)!

## Common errors

Your message is not seen in other servers and you cant see incoming messages: You have not enabled the `Administrator` permission for ServerMate in your server, or you may just need to wait a few minutes for your message to send to all of the correct servers!
