Streamlabs Chatbot Commands are the bread and butter of any interactive stream. With a chatbot tool you can manage and activate anything from regular commands, to timers, roles, currency systems, mini-games and more.
Some commands are easy to set-up, while others are more advanced. Don’t worry. We will walk you through all the steps of setting up your chatbot commands. If possible, try to stick to only ONE chatbot tool. Otherwise, you will end up duplicating your commands or messing up your channel currency.
Before we jump to the commands we need to set-up the Streamlabs Chatbot and connect it to our channel. The installation process takes less than ten minutes.
How to Install Streamlabs Chatbot:
Streamlabs Chatbot Commands at a Glance:
Timed commands are vital for any stream. They can be used to automatically promote or raise awareness about your social profiles, schedule, sponsors, merch store, and important information about on-going events.
Here’s how you can set them up:
As the name suggests, this is where you can organize your Stream giveaways. Streamlabs Chatbot allows viewers to register for a giveaway free, or by using currency points to pay the cost of a ticket.
You can add a timer to your giveaway. Once it expires, entries will automatically close and you must choose a winner from the list of participants, available on the left side of the screen. Chat commands and info will be automatically be shared in your stream.
Commands for the Giveaway tool:
Choose what makes a viewer a “regular” from the Currency tab, by checking the “Automatically become a regular at” option and choosing the conditions.
From the Counter dashboard you can configure any type of counter, from death counter, to hug counter, or swear counter. You can change the message template to anything, as long as you leave a “#” in the template. This is where your actually counter numbers will go.
Commands for the Death Counter:
Advanced tip:
The counter can be captured as a Display Area or as a .txt. File from the bot’s install directory in Services -> Twitch -> Files Folder.
Sound effects can be set-up very easily using the Sound Files menu. All you have to do is to toggle them on and start adding SFX with the + sign. From the individual SFX menu, toggle on the “Automatically Generate Command.” If you do this, typing !cheers, for example, will activate the sound effect.
You can also set optional responses for the sound effect, limit permission by user-type (e.g. everyone, subscriber), set cooldowns to avoid spam, and add a cost to redeem. Sound files can also be sorted in groups.
IMPORTANT: Once you have added all your sound effects, you should create a custom command, letting people know about them.
Pro tip:
Adding currency to your channel may not be worth it now that Twitch has introduced “channel points,” with rewards that can be claimed directly through its interface. You have to find a viable solution for Streamlabs currency and Twitch channel points to work together.
Again, depending on your chat size, you may consider adding a few mini games. Some of the mini-games are a super fun way for viewers to get more points ! You can add a cooldown of an hour or more to prevent viewers from abusing the command.
The logic behind the mini-games is pretty much the same. Here’s how you can set-up a boss battle.
Twitch now offers an integrated poll feature that makes it soooo much easier for viewers to get involved. In my opinion, the Streamlabs poll feature has become redundant and streamers should remove it completely from their dashboard.
Important: Advanced commands may create incompatibilities or problems with regular commands, so make sure you are fully aware of the changes you are making.
