# Telegram Integration Telegram integration allows for interaction with inworld local chat and execution of commands to the HUD, and inter-HUD communication via the AnE Fertility HUD Telegram group; you do **NOT** have to have a Telegram account to use the inter-HUD communication feature, but you must have an account and linked with the HUD for inworld local chat and execute commands to the HUD. *** You can communicate with the group using the Telegram gesture by typing: ``` /tg {and your message after} ``` \ If you wish to disable sending and receiving messages from the group, you can select **Settings** **>** **Services** **>** **Telegram** from the HUD dialogs and select **Group** to disable, similarly (if having the AnE gesture) you can type: ``` /ane telegram-group off ``` \ To enable inworld local chat, you **MUST** have a Telegram account that is linked with the HUD.\ \ You can go to **Settings > Services > Telegram** from the HUD dialogs and select Link to begin the linking process. You will be given a secret key in local chat which you will message the [@AnEHUDBot](https://t.me/AnEHUDBot) with; the link is successful when the bot greets you with your SL name.\ \ After linking, to make use of the inworld chat, you must have redirect turned on (which also requires RLV enabled) and you **MUST** be wearing the RolePlayer! You can turn off the Telegram to HUD and HUD to Telegram chat relay without unlinking or removing the RolePlayer by typing: ``` /ane telegram-chat off ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
