# Chat channels

Staff++ has the possibility to open chat channels when a player gets frozen

### Configuration

```yaml
freeze-module:
  chatchannels:
      enabled: true
```

With the above configured, when a player gets frozen a channel will be automatically opened.\
If the player gets unfrozen, the channel is closed. When the channel is opened, the player frozen and the staff member who has frozen automatically are added to the channel.

### Permissions

```yaml
chatchannels:
    join: "staff.chatchannels.join.freeze"
    leave: "staff.chatchannels.leave.freeze"
    open: "staff.chatchannels.open.freeze"
    close: "staff.chatchannels.close.freeze"
```

### Commands

| /fc \<message>              | If you are frozen you can use the /fc command without the freezechannel id                                             |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.staffplusplus.org/features/freezing/chat-channels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
