This page explains how to successfully join a chat giveaway when the chat is moving too fast.

Problem

"Your message was not sent because you are sending messages too quickly."​

"Your message was not sent because it is identical to the previous one you sent, less than 30 seconds ago."​

"Your message is being checked by mods and has not been sent."​

Solution

Option A​

  • Use your computer and keep spamming the keyword.
  • Keep trying until it goes through.

Option B​

  • Install 🔗Chatterino.
  • Open the chat.
  • Type your keyword, then hold Ctrl + Enter (Windows) or Cmd + Enter (Mac).

Advantage: Chatterino only shows your message in chat once it has actually been sent.

Note: I do not advise you to use this feature outside of a giveaway.

Further Context

Chat Pause​

Twitch adds an artificial pause to very active chats when a lot of messages are being sent at the same time.
Without these pauses, the chat would move too quickly to read at all.

You can actually time the chat pause: it usually lasts around 2–3 seconds.
For a better chance of your giveaway message going through, try to send your message while the chat is moving not during a pause.
