Streamer Mode lets you go live without accidentally revealing personal or sensitive information to your audience. Rather than a single on/off switch, BestClient uses a bitmask system — each bit in theDocumentation Index

bc_streamer_flags value controls an independent piece of information. You add the numeric values of the flags you want to activate, giving you granular control over exactly what is hidden. The default value of 64 enables only STREAMER_HIDE_LOGIN, which masks credentials on screen while leaving everything else visible.
Configuration Variable
Bitmask of active Streamer Mode options. Each enabled bit hides a specific category of on-screen information. Set to
0 to disable all Streamer Mode protections, or combine flag values to hide exactly what you need. The maximum value of 127 enables all seven flags simultaneously.Flag Reference
The flags are defined in theEStreamerFlags enum in bestclient.h. Each flag is a power of two so they combine cleanly with addition (or bitwise OR).
| Value | Flag name | Bit | What it hides |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | STREAMER_HIDE_SERVER_IP | 0 | The server IP address and port wherever they appear in the UI (connect dialog, server info, etc.). |
| 2 | STREAMER_HIDE_CHAT | 1 | All chat messages in the chat window. |
| 4 | STREAMER_HIDE_FRIEND_WHISPER | 2 | Private whisper messages from friends, keeping DMs out of the stream. |
| 8 | STREAMER_HIDE_OWN_NAME | 3 | Your own player name in name plates and anywhere your name appears in the game world. |
| 16 | STREAMER_HIDE_OTHER_NAMES | 4 | The names of all other players in the game world and name plates. |
| 32 | STREAMER_HIDE_TAB_NAMES | 5 | Player names in the scoreboard (Tab screen). |
| 64 | STREAMER_HIDE_LOGIN | 6 | Login credentials (passwords, tokens) wherever they appear in menus or the console. Enabled by default. |
Common Combinations
Hide server IP and login only (recommended minimum for public streams)
STREAMER_HIDE_SERVER_IP (1) + STREAMER_HIDE_LOGIN (64).
Full anonymity mode (hide all names, IP, and login)
STREAMER_HIDE_SERVER_IP (1) + STREAMER_HIDE_OWN_NAME (8) + STREAMER_HIDE_OTHER_NAMES (16) + STREAMER_HIDE_TAB_NAMES (32) + STREAMER_HIDE_LOGIN (64) = 121.
Hide everything
Disable Streamer Mode entirely
Silent Typing
While not part of the streamer flags bitmask, this complementary option is useful for streamers who want to compose chat messages without broadcasting their typing state to other players.When enabled (
1), BestClient suppresses the PLAYERFLAG_CHATTING flag that is normally sent to the server while you are typing. Other players will not see the typing indicator above your character, keeping your chat composition private until you actually send the message.
