Whitelisted Sites

By default, the chat box will only load pictures from trusted websites. You can open a pull request to add more, or send a request here.

For developers

You can prevent links from certain players from embedding, by using the CanEmbedCustomChat hook on the clientside.

hook.Add( "CanEmbedCustomChat", "override_chat_embed_access", function( ply, url, urlType )
    -- return false to block embeds from "url"

    -- "urlType" will be one of these strings:
    -- "image", "audio", and "url" for other stuff

    -- example: only allow super admins to use embeds
    if not ply:IsSuperAdmin() then return false end

    -- example: prevent audio from embedding for everyone
    if urlType == "audio" then return false end
end )
