Yes — GlobalSpeak is free to use. Create an account and access all core features immediately, including server spaces, direct messages, and the full friend system. We also offer an optional GlobalSpeak Plus subscription (£4.99/month) for those who want to support the platform and unlock extras like GIF avatars, a custom profile banner, unlimited favourite servers, and an exclusive badge.
Yes. After registering we send a 6-digit code to your email. You must enter it before gaining access. This ensures every account belongs to a real person and helps keep the platform safe.
Yes. Open your profile settings from the bottom-left corner of the app. You can update your display name, bio, avatar, and status at any time.
Yes. All messages are encrypted using AES-256 — one of the strongest encryption standards available — both in transit and at rest. Our moderation team retains the ability to review flagged content in order to keep the platform safe for everyone.
Messages are encrypted at rest, meaning they are not stored in plain text. Our moderation staff can access message content only when a report is filed and reviewed — for the purpose of keeping the platform safe. We do not read conversations unprompted.
Only accepted friends. Users search for you by your exact username and send a friend request. Until you accept, they cannot open a conversation with you — you are always in control of who can reach you.
Click the DM icon on the left sidebar, then switch to the Friends tab. Type their exact username in the "Add by username" box and click Add. They will receive a notification and can accept or decline.
Server Spaces are community hubs you create or join. Each server has text channels organised into categories. You can invite members, set up different topics per channel, and manage who has access — it's a dedicated home for your group or community.
Click the + button at the bottom of the server rail on the left to create a new server. To join an existing one, ask the server owner to share the invite link with you.
Right-click (or long-press on mobile) any message to open the context menu, then select Report Message. Choose a category — spam, harassment, threats, and others — add any additional context, and submit. Our moderation team reviews every report.
Your report is logged and reviewed by a human member of our moderation team. Depending on severity it may be passed up through the tier system to a more senior moderator. We aim to action every report as promptly as possible.
The desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux is currently in active development. For now, GlobalSpeak runs fully in your web browser — no download needed. Just sign up and start talking.
