It uses SendAddonMessage for "PARTY", "RAID", "GUILD", "BATTLEGROUND" or "WHISPER" communication and a hidden (faction/server wide) chat channel for "GLOBAL" communication called "GlobalComm". | ||
*Telepathy maintains a user list of everyone in the "GlobalComm" channel, but because other addons also use this standard comm channel it does not mean they are necessarily using Telepathy. Telepathy will automatically join "GlobalComm" after the other channels have loaded if an addon has registered a listener for "GLOBAL". The player can also opt to disable auto-join/leave using "/gcautojoin 0" or "/gcautojoin 1" to enable it again. | *Telepathy maintains a user list of everyone in the "GlobalComm" channel, but because other addons also use this standard comm channel it does not mean they are necessarily using Telepathy.
