Chat bots are awesome.
They can really take a lot of the burden out of managing the chat in
your live stream.
They're also a great way to get simple messages out to the folks in
your stream without having to type them over and over again.
They can play games and even trigger alerts.
Today I wanna introduce to you the three major chat bots that you can
use on your live stream.
I'm gonna show you how to add them into your stream and create some
simple messages that are gonna be broadcast to your audience.
It's really pretty simple.
So you know what?
Let's get to it.
Hello, my YouTube friends.
The three chatbots I want to cover today are Night Bot, Streamlabs,
Cloud Bot, and Stream Elements Chatbot.
These are the three big ones that most people use and they're pretty
similar as you're gonna see.
Now each one has its own unique features as well, and I'm gonna
highlight that a bit.
But the main bulk of this tutorial's gonna be to show you how to get
started with each one.
So let's start with Night Bot.
Okay, here's Night Bot and if we scroll down, it just gives you a
little more information about the program, but I'm gonna show you what
you need to know.
You can click sign up here.
It's going to ask you to sign up through the platform that you already
are streaming with just like pretty much everything else that connects
up with your streaming platforms.
So you'll just select the YouTube logo or the Twitch logo or whatever
it happens to be.
I'm already signed up so I'm just gonna log in and there we go.
So in order to add this to our channel, I'm just gonna unjoin and what
we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and click join the channel and
it tells you how to do it right here.
So we're gonna go ahead and take this link right here.
We're gonna right click and copy it.
Go over into our YouTube channel and we're gonna go to settings and
we're going to go to community and we're looking for our standard
moderators.
We'll just scroll down to the bottom and we'll paste that link in here
and in there we pasted it in there.
We just click save.
And if we go back into settings and we go to community, you're gonna
see that it's in here, right there, night Bot.
So we're all set.
Now it will appear in our chat.
So this has a bunch of different features.
Right here is the dashboard.
It shows your top chatter, top command, recent timeouts, recent
events, that sort of stuff.
We can go into commands and we can create custom commands.
We can also look at the default commands and these will start polls,
games, all that sort of stuff that is supported by Night Bot.
Next you have giveaways and you can actually create giveaways and use
their selection thing to make your giveaways fair and easy to do.
We have chat logs here, so it will log all the chat in here and you
can access it from right here.
If you missed something that was said, it's easy to find and you can
actually search through the chat as well.
You have a regulars button, which will show you the regulars that chat
in your live stream.
There is a song request with auto DJ and a playlist and all that kind
of stuff that you can set up with different commands to request songs
and that kind of thing, which you would set up in command.
You have a spam protection which helps to moderate your stream by
eliminating certain things that you don't want said.
If you don't want people typing in all caps or certain words,
repetition, that sort of stuff, you can remove all of that or set up
these filters in any way that you want.
Timers is what most people will use.
This allows you to place any information that you want in the chat on
a repeated basis.
I set one up here it is a social links one.
If we were to add a new one, you put the name in here, you put the
message you want right here.
So maybe you are looking for donations.
You would put uh, help to keep the stream going, donate here and then
put your donation link in here.
This is the interval, so every 15 minutes means that your message will
go out every 15 minutes.
The chat lines is the number of lines that have to be in between your
last message or this last message.
So it won't just put it out every 15 minutes if at least two people
haven't already chatted in between there.
And you can bump this up to 20 or 30 lines or whatever so that nobody
comes into your live stream and it's just a bunch of chat bot
messages.
You can also put a command word in here so that if you just want it to
actually put it in there, you want to make it happen, you can put that
command word in there and it will make that timer actually happen.
You can go in and edit any of these as well and delete them right
here.
You can enable them and you can also disable them.
So this tells you that it's enabled and if you disable it, it will say
disabled over here.
There are integrations for Discord and you can go to all the help
documents and support form right here for anything that you might need
to know about nightbot.
It's very, very cool and very simple to use.
I like it.
Now let me show you how to use Streamlabs Cloud Bot.
So this is where you come if you are using Streamlabs Cloud Bot,
you're gonna go to here and log in.
It's going to go ahead and ask you which platform and just log in with
the platform of choice, very simple.
Then we just select a cloud bot here on the left hand side and you can
turn it on and off right here and you're going to add it into your
settings with this link right here.
So we'll go and control C.
We can pop over into our dashboard, we go into settings, we go to
community and we just add it right here.
Now you're gonna see I already have it here, so we'll just remove it
and um, put in right here and we just stick it.
There it is right there.
Click save.
We go back in, we're gonna go into community and we will see Stream
Labs is right there.
So we're all set.
And let me show you what Cloud Bot is all about.
It has all the mod tools, just like Night Bot, so caps protection,
symbol protection, link protection, all this kind of stuff.
You can set up with preferences in here.
It's very, very simple to set up.
And then once you set it up, you can just click this to turn it on.
You can change the name of it from Cloud Bot to something else if you
are an ultra member, it has a bunch of different modules that you can
add to set up chat alerts.
So it'll notify you with donations and subscriptions.
And there are a bunch of mini games in here, heist gamble, um, you can
do a media share slots, duel emote pyramids and combos, all kinds of
really cool stuff.
You can set them up in preferences and turn them on right here.
Then you have your commands, just like we had in Nightbot.
All the default ones are listed here and you can create a whole bunch
of commands on your own for all kinds of different things that you can
do with the chatbot.
There are also variables and settings and all kinds of stuff which
make it very, very easy to control your chat and do all of the really
cool features the chatbot, uh, in this case cloud bot can do.
Timers work exactly the same as they did in Nightbot.
So if we go in here, you can see I have my donation chatbot set up
with the link to my donation and saying you can donate to the stream
and help me create content.
The interval is the number of minutes in between when you want it to
post, and the line minimum is just the same on Night Bot.
If there weren't five lines of chat from other people in the chat, it
will not post again in five minutes until we reach at least the line
minimum.
So that is how the edit timers work here.
You can also delete them right here.
Quotes, you can have a bunch of quotes that you can send to the stream
using keywords and that sort of stuff.
You have a queue.
So if you wanted to queue out folks who were gonna play with you in
game, you can do that here.
Loyalty points are very cool.
You can set up a system by which people can chat more often, which
gives them access to loyalty points.
With those loyalty points they can spend them in the store.
If you have merchandise that you want to give away from loyalty points
for people participating in your live streams, you can set up polls so
that people can go ahead and vote on these polls, all that kind of
stuff.
These are pretty cool, I really like it.
They are not difficult to set up.
You can also have people betting and they can of course bet with their
loyalty points.
They can also use loyalty points for giveaways and that sort of stuff.
So you can manage giveaway right from here, from merch or some other
custom item user management.
So you can add other people in here that can moderate your cloud bot
as well.
And an importer, so it will import from other bots like Nightbot as
you see right here.
And that is a very quick brief overview of all the things you can do
in Cloud Bot.
It is a very, very powerful chatbot tool.
The final one is the Stream Elements Chatbot.
Now this one is Stream Elements.
I use Stream Elements as my chatbot, not because it's the best one or
even because it has the most features, but I use it because I use all
my alerts in stream elements and it just makes it easier to have
everything in one place.
So you can sign up right here, it's the same thing.
You're going to connect it to your platform of choice so it knows
where it's going to be.
Moderating in the chat, I'm gonna go ahead and log in right here.
It's the same process you've seen a million times for logging into
these things and connecting them to your account once we're in there
we're interested in the chatbot down here and so we'll go down here to
chat commands.
So to add Chatbot to your live stream, it's a little bit more
difficult.
So the easiest way to do it is to go into YouTube, just do a search
for Stream Elements and that's gonna give you the official stream
elements right here, all the information that you need.
You can just go up here and copy that out.
And then you can go into your settings and just paste it in there.
And there you go.
You're gonna get the correct one automatically.
Click save.
Now stream elements is loaded in there, so we can go back in a stream
bot.
Under chat commands, you can turn on the eight ball game.
There are a bunch of other commands that you can use here.
You can also create custom commands under timers they work exactly the
same way.
We can click down here.
If we wanted to add a new one, we can add it here, but it has your
timer name and your timer response, which is what it's gonna be
putting in the chat.
You can add multiple messages if you wanted to make something a little
bit longer because you only have so many characters.
So you have your output interval, which is in my case, I have set to
five minutes.
And the number of chat lines that are supposed to be in between this
message going in there works exactly the same as the other two that
I've already shown you.
It has some sort of offline interval and I'm not exactly sure what
that does.
So if one of you know, maybe you can let me know in the comments.
It also has modules down here where you can on your activity monitor
for chat alerts or the eight ball game, or you can even monitor
Twitter chat if you like.
And then of course the spam filters that they all have.
Cap protection, link protection, emote protection and all that sort of
stuff.
You can make these bigger so you can go and set these up exactly how
you want them and it's very, very simple to use.
So like I said, S tream Elements is the one I use.
It's not because it has the most features or it's the easiest or the
hardest or anything like that.
It's just because this is where I have all of my alerts set up.
So it just makes sense to combine everything all into one.
But that is the quick overview of how to use Stream Elements chat bot.
Which one of these do you use?
Let me know in the comments.
Now there are a lot of unique and awesome features each one of these
bots have that I didn't cover how to use.
If you wanna see me dig deeper into those features on any specific
bot, please let me know that in the comments as well.
If there's enough interest, I'll dive deeper into any one of these
chat bots.
