What is the Fan Song Queue?
The Fan Song Queue (shown as Song Queue in the app) lets viewers submit AI-generated songs to your stream, and you approve each one before it plays. It is creator-reviewed by design — a song sits in the queue until you say yes. Nothing plays automatically. The songs are original AI music made for streaming, not licensed commercial recordings, so they sidestep the copyright headaches of playing label music on stream. Like the rest of Creator Cast, the queue keeps you in control: viewers can request, but the play decision is always yours. This pairs naturally with your live-stream setup, including the OBS audio widget and chat commands.
How does the Fan Song Queue work?
Three simple steps, with you as the gate:
- Viewers submit AI songs. People watching your stream send in AI-generated tracks.
- Songs wait in your queue. Each submission lands in the Fan Song Queue for review.
- You approve before it plays. A song only plays once you approve it. No approval, no play.
This is the same approve-before-it-airs principle behind reviewing fan submissions for fan clips.
How is this different from making music in Music Studio?
Music Studio is where YOU create AI music — with lyrics, cover art, stems, extensions, and more — for your own use. The Fan Song Queue is about songs your VIEWERS submit during a stream. One is your creation tool; the other is an audience feature you moderate live.
Do submitted songs play through my stream automatically?
No. The Fan Song Queue is creator-reviewed. A submitted song does not reach your stream audio until you approve it. To route audio to your stream once approved, set up the OBS audio widget. You can also control the queue from an Elgato Stream Deck or an OBS custom dock — see the OBS audio widget guide.
How do viewers submit songs?
Viewers submit on your public Song Queue page. Chat commands support the queue from chat: !queue posts the page link with the live queue status, and !vote counts a chat vote — both Nightbot compatible on Twitch and YouTube. Connecting those accounts is covered in connecting Twitch and YouTube.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the music safe to play on stream?
Fan Song Queue songs are original AI-generated tracks made for streaming, not licensed commercial music. Because they are original AI output with no record-label recordings or samples to clear, they avoid the licensed-music problem that triggers most Twitch and YouTube copyright strikes, and PrismPoster blocks requests that try to copy existing copyrighted lyrics. This is creator moderation plus original generation — built to be stream-safe — not a legal guarantee against every possible claim, so you are still responsible for what you broadcast.
Can a viewer's song play without my approval?
No. Every submitted song waits in the Fan Song Queue until you approve it. Songs do not play on stream automatically.
Is the Fan Song Queue the same as Music Studio?
No. Music Studio is where you create your own AI music. The Fan Song Queue is a live-stream feature for songs your viewers submit and that you approve before they play.
How do viewers add a song to the queue?
Viewers open your public Song Queue page and submit there. The !queue chat command (Nightbot compatible) posts that link in your Twitch or YouTube chat along with the current queue status.
