/teammsg sends a message that only the members of your team receive. It also answers to /tm. It works in survival without cheats, as long as you belong to a team created with /team, which makes it the private channel of team games.
Syntax

|---|---|---|
| message | Message | Text sent only to the members of your team, up to 256 characters in chat. |

Command generatorBefore you start
You need a team. An operator creates it with /team, for example team add Red then team join Red Alex. Without a team, the command fails with You must be on a team to message your team.
What players see
The message goes to every member of your team, including you, with the team name in front. Players from other teams and players without a team see nothing. /tm is a shorter alias that does exactly the same.
Tips for team games
- Permission level 0: any player can use it.
- The display name and color you give the team with that same command show up in the chat line.
- To whisper to a single teammate, use /msg.
- Operators can write to a whole team without joining it, with /tellraw and a selector like
@a[team=Red]. - For a message to all players, there is /say.
