Features

In addition to standard BitTorrent client-sharing functions, Tixati provides integral chatrooms with channel chat as well as encrypted private messaging.{{cite web|url=https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/tixati-review-review-safe/|work=www.vpnmentor.com|title=Complete Tixati Review 2022|author=Kristina Perunicic|date=April 6, 2022|access-date=April 10, 2022|archive-date=May 29, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220529093303/https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/tixati-review-review-safe/|url-status=live}} Chatrooms can be either public or secret. Users are allowed to optionally share lists of magnet or URL links which are then searchable across all channels a user is joined to. Browsing a specific user's share list is also supported. The channels also allow for streaming audio and video media.{{cite web|url=https://support.tixati.com/streaming|work=Tixati.com|title=Streaming|author=Tixati Support Team|date=February 3, 2017|access-date=February 3, 2017|archive-date=May 10, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190510191849/https://support.tixati.com/streaming|url-status=live}}
