How do I report inappropriate behaviour or content?

Expand

If you come across anyone trolling or bullying, block and report them. If you can, ask a trusted friend to moderate your chat so you can focus on having fun, and remember that if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, stop the stream immediately.

Make sure to follow your chosen streaming or gaming platform’s community guidelines, and remember that while you’re fundraising for Myaware, you’re representing the charity too. If needed, please mark your stream as mature to help protect younger and vulnerable platform users.
