Chat system?

So how does the chat system work in Ark? I'm pretty sure I've seen M Lite on twice, but in the chat it only shows that I'm talking to "Human." Do we need to be in a tribe together to see names or something?

There is an option to show the Steam name of players in chat.

Ah ha! I was thinking it was you, thanks M! We still have another 3 in-game hours to go before we can claim it though. My kids are super excited to use it when it becomes available.

OK, I'll have to try to find that option, thanks!

I hope y'all can put it to good use. As for the chat. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Scroll down to the Chat section here: https://ark.gamepedia.com/Controls

Looks like "Enter" is the default button to open Global chat.
