Streamer.bot Chat

Features

Streamer.bot ships with a built-in chat client to provide you with direct integration between chat and your bot's actions.

Multi Stream Support

By default, the chat window will enable a tabbed view for all broadcaster accounts you have connected.

While on the combined chat view, you can toggle which chat(s) to send to:

Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts exist to easily direct your chat messages to/from different accounts:

Command Menus

Autocomplete menus exist for the following options:

Slash Commands

Slash commands contain a set of actions that are directly integrated with your Streamer.bot instance.

For example, you can type /action to reveal a menu with all actions in your Streamer.bot instance to directly execute.

Some commands support Multi-Platform execution, such as /title which can set the title of both Twitch and YouTube broadcasts simultaneously.

Streamer.bot Commands

For commands to appear in the command menu they must be configured with:

• Set Location to Start
• Start with the ! prefix

When selecting a command, Enter will submit the command immediately to chat.

If you wish to add input for a command, use Tab to select the command and continue typing.

Emote Autocomplete

Emote autocomplete can be triggered at any time and contains emotes from the following sources:

• Twitch
• YouTube
• 7TV (Twitch & YouTube)
• FFZ (Twitch)
• BTTV (Twitch & YouTube)

To select an emote and continue typing, you can use either Enter / Tab

Setup

1

Enable WebSocket Server

In Streamer.bot, navigate to Servers / Clients > WebSocket Server

• Enable Auto-Start to automatically start the server when Streamer.bot starts up
• Enable Authentication and set a Password to allow sending messages
• Start the server if it is not already started

2

Configure OBS Studio

In OBS Studio, navigate to Docks > Custom Browser Docks from the menu bar

You can add any of the following URLs:

Name	URL
Streamer.bot Chat	https://chat.streamer.bot/feed/chat
Streamer.bot Event Feed	https://chat.streamer.bot/feed/events

OBS Browser Docks Dialog

3

Configure Connection Details

• Enter your Streamer.bot WebSocket Server details in the dialog:

Streamer.bot Chat WebSocket Config

4

Done!

You've got Streamer.bot Chat fully functioning as a browser dock in OBS Studio!

Settings

All settings in OBS Studio docks and browser sources are shared with each other, but they are separate from the internal Streamer.bot chat window.

Sync from Streamer.bot

You can sync settings from the main Streamer.bot chat window in Settings > General

This is a one-way sync, from Streamer.bot to the docked chat and will override all existing settings on the docked chat.

Limitations

Docked chat is limited in some ways due to requiring the WebSocket Server to function independently of Streamer.bot:

• Local Access 127.0.0.1 might be required
  • This depends on the security settings of your web browser or environment
    • i.e. modern web browsers will block connections to other IP Addresses
  • The recommended solution to work around this is with secure tunnels
    • e.g. Tailscale Serve, Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok, etc...
• Built-in moderation actions are removed
  • Custom quick actions can be used as a workaround for most of these
• Most built-in slash commands are removed
