How to Add Chat Commands for Twitch and YouTube (2024)

Twitch commands are extremely useful as your audience begins to grow. Imagine hundreds of viewers chatting and asking questions. Responding to each person is going to be impossible. Commands help live streamers and moderators respond to common questions, seamlessly interact with others, and even perform tasks.

How to Use Commands

To use Commands, you first need to enable a chatbot. Streamlabs Cloudbot is our cloud-based chatbot that supports Twitch, YouTube, and Trovo simultaneously. With 26 unique features, Cloudbot improves engagement, keeps your chat clean, and allows you to focus on streaming while we take care of the rest.

Cloudbot is an extensive tool. To get familiar with each feature, we recommend watching our playlist on YouTube. These tutorial videos will walk you through every feature Cloudbot has to offer to help you maximize your content.

Commands can be used to raid a channel, start a giveaway, share media, and much more. Each command comes with a set of permissions. Depending on the Command, some can only be used by your moderators while everyone, including viewers, can use others. Below is a list of commonly used Twitch commands that can help as you grow your channel. If you don’t see a command you want to use, you can also add a custom command. To learn about creating a custom command, check out our blog post here.
