I was wondering if there is anyway to send direct messages to any shared or home users without stopping their playback, similar to a chat feature, or perhaps a way to directly suggest this the the devs. Thanks for any feedback or ideas anyone may suggest.

You could add your vote here.

Information on planned maintenance (running every 20min or so) Restart information (one time message) and so on. This would be nice to have when you have a shared server. Vote on the poll, and maybe give a comment in suggestions to make this feature request better. Best regards Sleepwalker

But as it’s been requested since 2012 I would not hold your breath…

Yea that kind of sucks but it would be nice to send specific messages to users without ending their stream.
