How to Install Set Up and Understand Streamer.Bot 2.x

[@motokobeoulve9264]

Okay!!!! I finished watching the full video :D. First and foremost. Thank you so much for making this vid. It really helped me understand a program that I haven't used at all in the last 7 years since I maid my Twitch account. I have this video marked as a favorite so I can reference it (which I probably will multiple times) in the future. If I get up to twitchcon one day.... I owe you a drink for making my life a bit easier with this hahaha.

[@beardedink]

@@motokobeoulve9264 I am so happy to hear the videos helped! And thank you for watching. As for the Twitchcon, I'll take you up on that drink. I guess I'll have to actually go to a con for once now.

[@Spooky_Claus]

Thank you for the break down of the tool and the through basic command break down

[@beardedink]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@roccaboss2418]

Thank you for this! Very easy to follow and understand. You definitely earned another sub!

[@beardedink]

Aww! Thank you so much! I am so glad the video was easy to follow! Thank you for watching

[@Agent_Ice0]

This video was awesome! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I was super confused looking at other videos because they apparently had an older client and a few things were completely different. You earned yourself a subscriber.

[@beardedink]

Thank you for taking the time to watch it! I am so happy you found it helpful, and thank you for the support!

[@fr3sko]

Thank you! Helped alot to get started with the Streamer.bot :^)

[@beardedink]

Thanks for watching! I am so glad to hear it helped :)

[@LWTdb]

This was very good. I like your calm presentation style without all the hype and screen flashes from other tutorials use. I very much would like a video about Speaker.bot.

[@beardedink]

I appreciate your kind words. I do have a speaker bot tutorial planned, but Nate is working on another update so I am waiting too see if any of those will change basic functionality before I release it. Thanks for the suggestion, hopefully it will be up soon!

[@LWTdb]

@@beardedink I am trying to get global cooldown and user cooldown to work. I am using a different sub account to test. I am able to spam tts command with no cooldown occurring. The documentation shows a field for cooldown action but that does not exist in 0.2.2. I can't find any updated info on this. Can you help?

[@beardedink]

@@LWTdb Unless I misunderstand what you are wanting, the cooldown options are still there. If you click on the Commands tab and find the command you are testing, double click on it to open the options. On the left hand side, at the bottom are the 2 cooldown options. Set these to the cooldowns you are after. Global Cooldown means everyone and User Cooldown only effects the person that used the command. If I have misunderstood what you mean, feel free to join the discord and we can share images and more information there a lot easier. Good luck!

[@BesharamLive]

I have an issue there so many bot messages countinue in my chat whatever I command how to stop it I mean whenever someone enter that commond only that time and only one msg come can you tell me how to fixed this issue 😢

[@beardedink]

The issue can be for many different reasons. The link to my discord is in the video description. I have a streaming-help channel there, where you can post your question, upload your screenshots of your actions and sub actions and we can get you sorted.

[@BesharamLive]

@@beardedink I don't use discord but I will install it for you

[@BesharamLive]

Or else give me your email id I will send you screenshot

[@beardedink]

@@BesharamLive it really makes things a lot easier that way, plus the issues may happen to others so the help and fixed we make can help others in the future as well.

[@MacaroniMatt]

How do i set up a voice command that plays a sequence of inputs on my keyboard

[@beardedink]

Voice Commands and advanced scripts like keyboard presses are a bit beyond this tutorial, but will be included in a future tutorial! Basically though, they work like everything else. You make your action with the key-press sub actions you want and use a voice command trigger, instead of a command or channel point redeem, to set it all off.

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

This is so good. Thank you! I wish I could learn how to use Discord from you.

[@beardedink]

@@GregMurrayEnt1 I have started a discord series. Anything in particular you're looking for?

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

@@beardedink I have tried to learn to use Discord on a number of occasions. I cannot understand it and how to use it. I am very good with everything else, but I cannot get Discord. Can you connect me with a method to learn it? Thank you for responding to my first comment.

[@beardedink]

No worries. No one is born knowing everything, my friend. I need more content for discord tutorials, too. So, let me ask you this: are you looking to start your own discord server/community and don't know how to make one, or are you asking how to use discord as a member and join/find communities, utilize the features and thing like that from the user's end?

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

@@beardedink All of the above. I have may several attempts to learn to use Discord. I cannot understand any of it.

[@boldenjj]

Thank you so much. This video as well as others have made my day. Thank you so much for the streamerbot for dummies video. This has given me encouragement to continue on my path.

[@beardedink]

Thanks for your kind words and for watching! I am happy to hear you will continue on with your journey!!

[@iForenzic]

Great video! If I was trying to add a channel point redemption where someone else times another user out, what is the variable I should put in for user login? I know its supposed to be the info from whatever the text says in redemption but I wasnt sure how to go about that.

[@beardedink]

There are a few ways to go about this, but the easiest is to just use the %rawInput% variable and make the command require input. I would add "instructions" for the redeem to only type in the user they wish to be timed out and to use the full, correct username so "BeardedInk" for example would work but there is no active user "Bearded" There are other methods to ensure nicknames, and some (not all) typos are corrected, but they involve C# or a multitude of if/else statements.

[@HetBroek.]

Thanks for the good explanation! I am a Dutch streamer and English is not really my thing, but your explanation is clear. I will definitely continue with Streamer.bot

[@beardedink]

I am happy it helped! I know you will love streamer.bot! Thanks for watching!

[@frankthedarkboy]

you're a great teacher! let me be the first to say THANK YOU!

[@beardedink]

I appreciate the kind words! And thanks for watching!

[@BSalamander8]

Im trying to set this up on streamlabs OBS and i cant seem to find the Websocket thing. Is this available for streamlabs or just OBS

[@beardedink]

It is available for StreamLabs Desktop, yes! First, you will need to go to your SLD dashboard and click on Settings and then "Remote" You will see the blurred QR code and you want to click it to see your connection info. In particular the API token and port number. Then, in Streamer.bot go to the Stream Apps tab and then the StreamLabs Desktop Tab. Right click and choose "Add" give it a name, paste your API token and port in place (note "host" should be local IP 127.0.0.1) and you are good to go!

[@elorasingleton]

I was watching your other video about adding a lurk command, and for some reason it won't trigger in my twitch chat. Just comes up with my Nightbot commands. Do I get rid of nightbot for my commands to work on streamer.bot?

[@beardedink]

No. the bots are not dependent and when everything is working correctly, you would just have two responses in your chat. To help with this, like the other comment with lurk command issues, I would need more information to help you the most, otherwise I am just guessing. If you are on Discord, you can join the Bearded Pint server and find my #streamer-help section and post there so we can see screenshots and code to get you on the right path. Most likely there is either an account connection issue, or there is a small mistake in the scripting for the command.

[@JohneRandom]

I like how you explain the options and interface and stuff... but let me tell ya... FYI - I was following along and duplicating what you were doing as you were doing it and for the shoutout --- %user% it kept returning my own name and shouting myself out. -- Going to the Discord and joining the streamerbot community, I learned I should be using %targetUser% instead %user% -- anyway.. that was a little frustrating -- but -- I learned. Anyway -- thanks for making this video - it's still good even if it does have a tiny error that matters :)

[@JohneRandom]

wait a minute.. never mind... I continued... LOL.. you show the error!

[@beardedink]

@@JohneRandom Yes, the error was intentional as I wanted to showcase the variable listings and this was the easiest way to do it without making a whole extra chapter and making the vid even longer! Thanks for sticking with it to see the result, and good eye on catching the error up front!

[@JohneRandom]

@@beardedink Yeah...hahaha.. I saw that after I finished watching! But, before I continued on with the vid -- I looked for some setting I must of accidently checked... then, I joined the streamerbot discord and pleaded for help, cause I was sure I did something wrong. Anyway -- I hope you do some more tutorials, I think you do a great job and I wont panic next time.. and I dont mind long tutorials.. I went thru all of EposVox's OBS tutorials a few years ago.. They were great

[@beardedink]

@@JohneRandom You found a problem, sought a solution and fixed it. That is more than about 90% of people would do. That is awesome. And yes, more tutorials are on the way!

[@MechanicalWhispers]

Loved watching the FULL video. Great tutorial. Keep it up! I'm going to start building Actions for my stream, and a bunch come to mind that might be great for future tutorials for you to make. I want to automate a lot of things in my chat and on my OBS Scene to interact with my (very few) watchers. Maybe a Welcome message when they enter the chat. Maybe a first chat message or on-screen animation. I want a "ding" in chat when a person sends a message, but only in my headphones so I don't miss it. And all this on Twitch and KZbin as well, since I multi-stream to both. Is there something fun you can do with lurkers, to pull them into the chat? (Or to be a follower?) So many possibilities! And I have a lot of graphics I've made, so I look forward to incorporating them as Actions on screen for fun visual moments.

[@beardedink]

Thank you for watching. I do have a lot more tutorials coming soon. Most of what you have mentioned has already been asked for, so they are coming! Good luck in your streaming, it sounds like you have a lot planned!

[@leoponce6252]

Thank you for the explanation. Very easy to follow. By any chance, do you know how to set up a timer? Say i want to display my discord after a certain amount of text has been typed in chat. How would i do that?

[@beardedink]

Thank you for watching the video! Yes, timed messages are set up just like a standard command. Make your action and sub actions as you normally would and then head to the Settings tab and click on Timed Actions tab. Here you will add a a timed action call with the settings you desire (seconds and messages between triggers, etc) and use this as the trigger on your action.

[@leoponce6252]

@@beardedink It worked! Thank you so much. I do have another question. If i wanted to include a clip from a streamer to include in the shoutout command(say if i get a raid). How would i go about doing that?

[@beardedink]

@@leoponce6252 Happy to hear you got it working. Including user clips as part of a shout out is possible and fairly straight forward. However, it is a bit more than I can put in a comment here. I am working on a new tutorial that will cover this as well. It requires a bit of C# code as well as an external html file. Look for that tutorial coming this week (with some luck). In the meantime, a simple and usable solution is found on twich.guru website. It isn't the best option but it is free and works with the !so command which will trigger both the clip and your SB shoutout actions.

question does it has cross communication chat ? like restream chat bot i am a multi streamer i been multi streaming since 2017 before people are parsing it now in 2023 back in 2016 2017 twitch had multi streaming i went too there page in streamer bot Cross Chat Communication i dont know how too setup the steps are confusing

[@beardedink]

Currently Streamer.bot is native for Twitch and KZbin (though has plenty of 3rd party integrations). I didn't cover it in this basic tutorial, but yes, there is a chat widget included that will pull Twitch and KZbin chats in. It also has features so you can set up push button actions or replies and other special features for a true stand-alone pop out chat client. If you look at the top of the app you will see the Chat button,. pressing it will pop out the chat to your connected service(s) adding actions and such will be covered in a future tutorial.

[@themadcroc8535]

So with the whole deleting videos selection. Why dis need to be able to do that?

[@beardedink]

My apologies. I am not sure I understand your question.

[@Highphi420]

update! For "send chat message" the option to choose broadcaster or bot is now just check box at the lower right of pop up. 2 options to check or uncheck send using bot account and fallback to broadcaster. both are checked by default and if you want your PERSONAL messages to use broadcaster account uncheck use bot account. this is covered in Beardedinks "speakerBot update" video go check it out.

[@beardedink]

Also note, if you update from 2.4 to 2.5 these are ALL reset by default. Updating from 2.4 to 2.6 will retain bot/broadcaster settings that were chosen in 2.4

Hey, when I do a shout out, it shouts out my channel instead of the target. What am I doing wrong?@@beardedink

[@NightOwl_Playz]

sir can u also make one for KZbin

[@beardedink]

KZbin is already integrated and the setup steps are exactly the same. The only difference is that you will use the KZbin sub-tab in the Platforms section, and when you add things like send text to chat, in the commands you will tick the box for "KZbin Message." If you want to know anything specific, though, just ask!
