Hiding Bigo Live chat from your screen, turning off message alerts and muting a user are not the same thing. If you want a cleaner stream display, first check the viewing options for that stream type.

If you are a viewer

Review the display controls currently available on the stream screen. If a hide-chat option exists, check whether it changes only your own view. If no such option is visible, do not assume the same swipe gesture or button works in every version.

If you are a host

Room-management permissions differ from your personal screen view. If one user is the problem, muting or reporting may be more appropriate. Before assuming you have disabled all chat, check whether participants can still send messages and read the app's explanation.

Choose the right guide for your goal

If only alert sounds bother you, use notification settings.
If one person is harassing you, review user-specific controls and reporting options.
If you do not want private messages, review privacy and message preferences.
Do not rely solely on hiding the chat display to protect personal information.
