This action allows you to select a channel on the server by specifying its name.

It takes one string parameter, which is the name of the channel you want to select.


The name check is case-insensitive, so trying to select a client "Betsy" by name "BetSy" will succeed.

  • In Relay, clients can share names, so this action should be avoided when possible. Use Client > Select by ID instead.
  • In Blue, names are unique.
    In addition to being case-insensitive, special Unicode characters will be simplified during the check, so trying to select a client "Jáck" by name "jack" will also succeed.


Selection can be a somewhat complicated topic; see more details under When selection is changed.

You cannot re-select the disconnecting client in a Connection > On disconnect event, so you should not switch away if possible.
