How do chat commands work for viewers?
Chat commands put your Creator Cast links and live status straight into your Twitch or YouTube chat. Most commands reply in chat with a link — !queue, for example, posts the current Song Queue count, the top ready song, and the voting link — and viewers then submit on your public fan pages. !vote is the exception: it counts a chat vote directly. Nothing a command does pushes content live on its own; you still approve fan clips and songs before they appear or play.
Which commands exist?
Creator Cast ships three commands:
- !cast — replies with your fan clip page, its live status, and the current gate.
- !queue — replies with the Song Queue count, the top ready song, and the voting link.
- !vote — casts a chat vote by rank, such as
!vote 1.
Copy-paste Nightbot setup for all three — with step-by-step Twitch and YouTube instructions — lives in Stream Setup → Go-Live kit.
What does Nightbot compatible mean?
Nightbot is a widely used chat bot for Twitch and YouTube. Creator Cast commands are plain Nightbot custom commands (any chat bot that supports URL-fetch responses works the same way), so they fit the chat setup streamers already run. The bot runs the command in your chat; PrismPoster only serves the reply text.
Do chat commands let viewers bypass my review?
No. Commands post links and status. A viewer who follows the link submits on your public fan page, and that submission — a song for the Fan Song Queue or a fan clip — still goes to your queue and waits for your approval. Nothing airs by itself.
What do I need connected for chat commands to work?
The commands run through your chat bot, like Nightbot — PrismPoster never receives chat permissions. Your Twitch or YouTube connection exists for audience gates and live-stream tools only, never for posting to a social feed. See connecting Twitch and YouTube for what the connection covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the chat commands compatible with Nightbot?
Yes. !cast, !queue, and !vote are Nightbot-compatible custom commands, and the copy-paste setup for them lives in Stream Setup → Go-Live kit.
Can a viewer command publish content to my stream directly?
No. Commands reply with links and status. Songs still go through the creator-reviewed Fan Song Queue, and fan clips still go through your review queue, so you approve before anything airs.
