Block channel

[firsttimeeagle]

is there a way to block a channel so that all of the channel members no longer be able chat on that channel, and the blocked channel did not appear on channel list?

[firsttimeeagle]

or maybe block a user so that user no longer be able to initiate chat with us

hi! you may want to take a look to

• Channel hide: https://getstream.io/chat/docs/channel_delete/?language=kotlin&q=hide
• User ban: https://getstream.io/chat/docs/moderation/?language=kotlin&q=ban

[firsttimeeagle]

in my case its one-on-one conversation, both of that method that you've provide doesn't satisfy my requirement for blocked channel because:

• channel hide: the other user can still see, access, & use the channel because hiding channel only apply to one user not both user
• user ban: only admin & moderator can ban user from the channel, what about one-on-one conversation?

for this I think you can just remove the members from the channel

you should use a server-side SDK

for this I think you can use user mutes https://getstream.io/chat/docs/moderation/?language=kotlin#mutes
also banning users is possible on server-side SDK

what do you mean with server side SDK? is this it? https://getstream.io/chat/docs/server_side_api/?language=dart

[imtoori]

yes, those are the server-side SDKs
