How to Set Up Cross Server Chat | ARK Server Communication Guide

Setting Up Cross-Server Chat

Enable Communication Between Multiple Servers

Enable cross-server chat to allow communication between multiple ARK servers. This guide assumes you have already set up multiple servers. If you haven't set up your servers yet, check out our guide on Installing Your First Server.

Enable Cross-Server Chat

Navigate to the Cluster Settings tab and locate the cross-server chat section:

Scroll to the bottom of the Cluster Settings page

Cross-server chat works independently of cluster settings, allowing communication even between non-clustered servers.
