Polls
Polls let you collect quick feedback in chat and show results live in an overlay.
Dashboard overview
On this page you set the question, options, and voting style, start or stop the poll, and display results in the overlay. There are also settings for chat messages, commands, and the OBS browser source.
Create a poll
You can optionally set a question and add between two and ten options. The voting style is either Numbers (1/2/3 …) or Keywords with unique words per option. Duration can be set in minutes or run without a timer. Current values can be saved as defaults or reset to default.
Voting and flow
While the poll runs, viewers vote via number or keyword in chat. Start and result announcements can be enabled. The status shows whether the poll is running, stopped, or ready, including remaining time and total votes.
Chat messages & placeholders
Start and result messages can be customized as templates. Leave empty = default text. Important placeholders:
- Start (Numbers):
{options},{minutes},{channel} - Start (Keywords):
{options},{keywords},{minutes},{channel} - Result:
{winner_label},{winner_keyword},{winner_votes},{total_votes}
Chat commands
Start and stop commands can be configured in the dashboard. You set name, aliases, permissions, and global/user cooldowns.
OBS overlay
You can generate the overlay link with design options: theme, accent color, layout (vertical/horizontal), alignment, language, width/height, and compact mode. Optional controls include idle view, percent/vote display, rounded corners, and reduced animations. Presets are available for typical setups.
Ratings
Ratings let you collect numeric feedback in chat and calculate an average.
Dashboard overview
On this page you configure the number range, topic, and duration, start or stop the rating, and see the average live.
Create a rating
Set the number range (e.g. 1–10) and optionally a topic. Duration can be set in minutes or run without a timer.
Decimals
You can optionally allow decimals and define how many places are shown in the dashboard.
Voting and result
Viewers submit a number within the range in chat. After stopping, the average is shown and can be announced in chat.
Chat messages & placeholders
Start and result templates can be customized. Placeholders: {min}, {max}, {range}, {minutes}, {channel}, {question}, {avg}, {count}.
Chat commands
Start/stop commands are configurable. You can pass the number range directly when starting (e.g. !startrating 1 10).
OBS overlay
Like polls, there is an overlay link with theme, accent, alignment, language, width, and other options.
Chat Trends
Chat Trends show the words and emotes your chat is using most right now – as an overlay on stream. Emotes from Twitch, 7TV, BTTV and FFZ show up as images.
Switching it on and the time frame
Turn on Chat Trends active and the bot starts counting. Under Time frame you choose whether the last 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes count, or everything since the last reset. With Reset whenever the stream starts every stream starts from zero. The overlay updates every few seconds.
Spam protection
An entry only shows up once several different viewers have written it (Min. different viewers). Each viewer counts at most once per word per minute – so a single person can't spam a word to the top.
- Commands (
!…), @mentions, links and GIF messages are not counted. - Well-known bots like Nightbot and StreamElements are always excluded; you add further accounts under
Ignored users. - Words from your word filter never appear. You set your own exceptions under
Blocked words(at most 200 per list). - Optionally, plain numbers and filler words (the, and, der …) can be ignored, and you can set a minimum word length.
Live preview
The live preview shows what's in the overlay right now. Hide removes an entry immediately – it goes onto the block list and won't be counted anymore. Reset clears everything counted so far.
Chat command
Optionally, the reset command !trendsreset resets Chat Trends from chat. It's off by default and moderators only; you set the name, aliases, permission and cooldowns yourself.
OBS overlay
Under OBS browser source (overlay) you build the link: bars or list, 3 to 15 entries, font size, theme, accent color, alignment, width, an optional heading, plus counts, rounded corners and reduced motion. As long as there are no entries, the overlay stays invisible.
