I've been a Mod for almost a year now but was just recently given the Editor role, and this was very helpful! Thank you so much!

[@trui]

Great to hear!

[@heyimsasquatch9444]

As a moderator for a small streamer who couldn't figure out how to make me editor, thank you! This is exactly what we needed

[@trui]

Great to hear I could help!

[@dom.rockchalkjayhawk.8990]

Im in the same boat

[@archievx8291]

I just got promoted from mod to editor. I had no idea what role is this and what to do. This is really helpful explaining what it is! You have my gratitude!

Glad I could give you some insights!

[@aisulol]

didn't even know there was an editor role. nice vid trui, it helped.

[@trui]

Yeah it's not really obvious that this exists at all! I think Twitch could make it more clear that this is a thing. But I am glad I can do it for you 😁

[@mindfreakgames5605]

that show u did not do the entire research. (Silly u )

[@ShaineWarren]

Thank you. I just hired an editor. This makes things a million times easier for him to access the VODs and clips directly.

[@trui]

Congratulations! That's a huge achievement as it can improve the amount of content you can put out. Good job! 👏 I am glad I could help you out 😊

[@carrottopadc2602]

Thanks for the informative video, I’ll be sure to check you out on twitch sometime

[@trui]

Awesome thank you!

[@mojiplayer7767]

tnx you help me so much

[@trui]

😄

[@massivetoolhead]

Good informative video. I was wondering if an editor could insert a short video or a gif or the like onto the stream?

[@trui]

There is a program that can interact with OBS. But displaying GIFS on stream goes via the broadcasting software and not on Twitch.

[@CrazyPengion]

Was more helpful han the twitch support, thanks!

[@trui]

Glad to be able to help!

[@Captgreatvalue]

thank you it was easy

Thank you Capt! 🙌

Top left on the creator dashboard click on stream manager and reset to default.

where do you get your music to edit highlights ?

Thank you! No only the broadcaster can do that.

:-) You look lovely in glasses Trui

[@trui]

Thank you Piotr!

[@Kaleb608]

My friend wants me to edit the channel point rewards is there a way i can do that?

[@trui]

No, that can only be done on the streamer account.

[@BrailleBennett]

I wish Twitch would give more options for editors. Like functions that the streamer could turn on or off. Like view and edit channel points, see number of subs, see followers list, ETC. ETC. And maybe even like an editors+ ware the editor can grant/remove vip and mod ranks.

[@chaser666lucifer2]

can moderators talk to the streamer using their voice (not chat) if they have a mic also

[@trui]

It's not some kinda function. You could be in a discord call with them. If you want the stream not to hear them you need a mixer. For example the Elgato wave 3 mic let's you control what your stream hears separately from what you hear.

[@dieserluca7830]

how do you make it without the link. Thanks for the great video

[@trui]

I don't think I understand

[@James_A85]

How do you set it up to allow mods to do raids for you ???

[@trui]

They can do this if they are an editor.

[@James_A85]

@@trui Thank you very much

[@trui]

You are welcome!

[@shmuleshadows2292]

Is editor the same thing as supermod or is it something different

[@trui]

I don't know what you mean with Supermod. Do you mean on KZbin? I couldn't tell you. But I included everything a 'editor' on Twitch can do in the video.

[@anfanger4]

is there a list of channels where i have editor role??

[@trui]

Yes: dashboard - settings - stream You can find it under permissions.

[@thecoolguy2012]

I recently became a mod for a twitch streamer and they don’t know where to add roles is it ok if I share this with them just asking

[@trui]

Yeah share the video with as many people you know! The more the better 😜

[@thecoolguy2012]

@@trui alright thanks just wanted to make sure before I did and I also gave you a follow on twitch

[@HaizR]

Does anyone know if editors can edit overlays, goals etc?

[@trui]

Not via Twitch. These things run through OBS. If you use StreamElements you can make somebody an editor IN StreamElements to edit your overlays and goals though. But that goes around Twitch itself.

[@justjosejose1046]

Hi I’m wondering can editor make pepole mod or vip? Btw thanks for the help

[@trui]

No only the streamer

[@benpebbles4111]

I have a problem. Everytime I try to go to the editor dashboard I just get automatically send to my personal dashboard. Why does that happen?

[@trui]

Did you only put dashboard.twitch.tv in or also the rest of the link with the channel name your an editor of?

[@benpebbles4111]

@@trui I fixed it. Did the wrong link. You were such a help. There is legit nobody else who talks about this issue.....maybe because I just wasnt that smart hahaha. But thanks for all the help. I just got a job as an editor and this let me download from the channel. Gosh, my first job 😄

[@trui]

That is awesome! Congrats on your editing job!!

[@benpebbles4111]

[@NastyNatty48]

Is the editor able to stream on the channel?

No, you need to add them as streamer or share the stream key.

How to i put editor in my iphone, because i dont have any computer

[@trui]

There is an option on your browser to 'show desktop website'. You could try going to your Twitch dashboard like that.

[@Duke49th]

It is nowhere documented and google only show outdated answers. Twitch is so stupid sometimes. I have the feeling they want to make it as hard as it gets sometimes. Thanks for the Video!

[@trui]

Yeah they really don't explain much about the editor role! They should be a bit more open about it.

[@averagejoe1068]

Can an editor use the /raid command in chat?

[@BrailleBennett]

AverageJoe Yep, as well as /host.

[@trui]

Yes they can

[@rodrigoorellana4637]

Does an editor can make another person a moderator?

[@trui]

Only the streamer can assign moderators.

[@mr.clench7321]

Wait, can I add, edit, and delete commands as an editor?

[@trui]

That depends on the bot settings but usually that is for moderators.

[@nicolapss]

editor can download the full live? and if yes, how do it?

[@trui]

You can go to the creator dashboard to the section with all VODs click on the 3 dots and click on download. It's very slow and it takes a while to start the download, this is normal.

[@nicolapss]

@@trui ok, thank you very much!

[@nicolapss]

@@trui and how enter in "creator dashboard"? I put "dashboard.twitch.tv/u/*channel*" but show me "denied access"

ahh the url in description dont work :(

Make sure to replace the channel name and the space

[@jasonfernandes7965]

I typed the link but i get a "This site can't be reached" message :/

[@trui]

Have you replaces it with the channels name?

[@Ryan-dc6jc]

i know an editor can raid and host, but can they end stream?

[@trui]

You end the stream by stopping it on your streaming software, like OBS. You do that manually on that pc (or with software that can control your pc). Twitch itself does not stop your stream, even after a raid it will be on if you do not stop it yourself.

[@Ryan-dc6jc]

@@trui gotcha ok, thank you for the help!

[@aarongonzalez9841]

How do you send them the editor link tho

[@trui]

Sorry what do you mean? You do not need to send them a editor link. What would that link do?

[@trui]

Or where you aiming at how to get to your dashboard? I left that in the video AND description 😉

Nope only the streamer.
