# process_incoming_data

> chat_manager::process_incoming_data

Delivers data to Game Chat 2 that was received from a remote instance of Game Chat 2.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
void process_incoming_data(  
    uint64_t sourceEndpointIdentifier,  
    uint32_t bufferByteCount,  
    const void* buffer  
)  
```

### Parameters

*sourceEndpointIdentifier*   \_In\_\
Type: uint64\_t

The identifier associated with an endpoint that was advertised to Game Chat 2 with a previous call to [chat\_manager::add\_remote\_user](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/chat/gamechat2/classes/chat_manager/methods/chat_manager_add_remote_user.md).

*bufferByteCount*   \_In\_\
Type: uint32\_t

The size of the data buffer, in bytes.

*buffer*   \_In\_reads\_(bufferByteCount)\
Type: void\*

The data buffer.

### Return value

Type: void

None.

## Remarks

When the app's transport layer receives data that originated from a remote instance of Game Chat 2, call this method to deliver the data to the local instance of Game Chat 2. Game Chat 2 then decodes the incoming data and renders it to the local user's device.
