Is From Other Channel
Runs on: Frontend (Chatbox) — only available in the Chatbox Flow Editor; runs inside the OBS browser source.
The Is From Other Channel check reads the is_from_another_channel flag on the incoming chat message. This flag is true when the message came from a shared chat session AND the source broadcaster is a different channel from the current one — meaning the chatter is watching and typing from a partner channel, not your own. If the message is from another channel, it is forwarded to Pass; otherwise it goes to Fail.
This is a stricter version of Is Shared Chat. Use it when you want to specifically call out visitors from partner channels rather than treating all shared-chat messages the same.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
message | chat-message | The chat message object from the Chat Message trigger or an upstream check node. |
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
pass | chat-message | The message, forwarded if it came from a different channel via shared chat. |
fail | chat-message | The message, forwarded if it came from your own channel. |
Example
During a collaboration stream, route messages from the partner channel to a "visitor" variant that displays a small flag or channel logo next to the chatter's name so your viewers know who is visiting.
