/p2p

Open a P2P Session with another user: a single persistent peer-to-peer connection that hosts every feature at once — an audio or video call, file transfers, and games — all running at the same time.

Syntax

/p2p <nickname>

Parameters

nickname — The user to open a P2P Session with.

How It Works

Running /p2p opens a setup dialog first, so you can preview camera, choose microphone/camera/speaker, pick receive-only, and enable privacy relay before the request is sent. After you confirm, the other user receives a P2P request in your private message, the PM tab opens in the background, and Join/Decline appear in the PM header. When they accept, the connection is established right there in the chat: the call starts with each side's chosen defaults and the P2P Session Console opens with Call, Files, Games and Stats sections. Several activities run together over the one connection; ending one keeps the others alive. Closing the console disconnects the session (after a confirmation) — minimize to keep it running.

Rules & Limits

  • Both you and the target must be registered and identified (via /ns identify).
  • The target must be online.
  • You cannot start a P2P session with yourself.

Examples
