How do chat commands work for viewers?
Chat commands let your viewers interact with Creator Cast tools straight from your Twitch or YouTube chat. They are Nightbot compatible, so they fit alongside the chat setup many streamers already run. Viewers use commands to do things like submit to your Fan Song Queue. The commands feed your queues — they do not push anything live on their own. You still approve fan clips and songs before they appear or play.
What can viewers do with chat commands?
Chat commands are how the audience reaches your live-stream tools without leaving chat. They work in your Twitch and YouTube chat, the same place viewers already talk during a stream. Submissions made through commands go into your queues for review, keeping the same approve-before-it-airs flow as the rest of Creator Cast.
What does Nightbot compatible mean?
Nightbot is a widely used chat bot for Twitch and YouTube. Creator Cast chat commands are designed to be compatible with Nightbot, so they work within the chat-command setup streamers commonly use rather than requiring a separate, incompatible system.
Do chat commands let viewers bypass my review?
No. Commands are an input method for your audience. Anything a viewer submits through a command — like a song for the Fan Song Queue — still goes to your queue and waits for your approval. The command does not put content on stream by itself.
What do I need connected for chat commands to work?
Chat commands run through your connected Twitch or YouTube account. Those connections exist for live-stream tools only, never for posting to a social feed. See connecting Twitch and YouTube for what the connection covers and why the scopes are what they are.
