Chat Commands
Every command below is answered by our own bot, @laughingwhalesbot. There is nothing to install and nothing to paste. It needs one thing from you, moderator status in your channel, and then all of them work at once.
What your chat gets
The moment @laughingwhalesbot is a moderator, all of these answer.
!q- Viewer Queue. Viewers join from chat; you and your mods run it from chat or the dashboard.
!wheel- Challenge Wheel. Chat rolls a random killer + challenge. !wheel adept also lands on your overlay.
!vote- Tier-list Voting. Chat votes the spotlit item into S to F tiers, live in your overlay.
!mog- Mog Cam. A webcam countdown and freeze-frame. Mods fire it or set its timer from chat while it's on your overlay.
!tickets- Attendance Tickets. Viewers check their raffle tickets from chat, and mods hand tickets out, while tracking runs.
!overlay- Overlay Switcher. Mods show a feature on your overlay, or hide everything, from chat.
!words- Words on Stream. Mods start, stop and time the word board from chat. Chat still plays by typing words, no command.
You can rename any of these words on your bot commands page.
What making it a moderator does
- ✓Lets @laughingwhalesbot read your chat, which is how it sees a viewer type a command in the first place.
- ✓Lets it reply without your login. It posts on its own token, so your commands keep working even if your Twitch connection to us expires.
- ✓Makes moderator-only commands safe. Twitch signs the mod badge on every message, so "mods only" means what it says.
- ✓Nothing else. It never bans, times out, or deletes anything, and you can remove it any time from Twitch's own moderator list.
We'll bring you straight back here, then it's one click to mod the bot.
What your other bot does
StreamElements, Nightbot and Streamlabs host your own static replies, like a !discord that posts a link, or a shoutout line. Those are still theirs, and the bot commands page writes the add-command for whichever one you run. The commands above are different. They need to read your chat live and check mod badges, so they are ours and there is no snippet to paste.
Change any of it later
Rename any command word, choose whether the bot listens all stream or only while a feature is running, and write your own static replies.
