when you first start streaming and your chat is quiet you might be thinking to yourself i don't
need auto moderation or i don't need a loyalty point system well you are dead wrong this is the
perfect time to be setting all of that up and it can do wonders to increase your engagements
and your overall chat if you don't want to be a small streamer forever then it's time to stop
acting like one today i'm going to show you guys how to set up your streamlabs cloudbot to handle
auto moderation and increase your chat engagements so that when your viewers arrive in droves
it's all good to go hello my name is Eljay from streamsgame.com also a variety streamer over
at twitch.tv/eljayem_ links to both those in the description and today i'm going to be showing you
guys how to set up streamlabs cloudbot now this is going to be a basic overlook to get yourself
set with auto moderation and how to set up all your loyalty tokens and all the fun stuff to keep
chat engaged and give them some stuff to do but my favorite tip of the entire day is going to be
in the timers and command sections at the end of the video so make sure you watch through so
you can get those set up i know for a fact that the tip when it comes to using the timers will
increase your followers and your engagements because it's worked for me and there are time
codes in the description so if you want to jump ahead to a certain part you can go ahead and do
that first things first why do i use streamlabs cloud but when there are so many other bots
well when it came down to it i looked at a lot of different options when i first started streaming
and streamlabs cloudbot had the best user interface it was easiest to set up and overall
it was already built into streamlabs obs it was incredibly intuitive i didn't have any issues
at all it came with fun games for my chat to play it came with auto moderation that was incredibly
easy to customize way easier than twitch's chat moderation that they've got built in
but the main reason that i use streamlabs cloudbot is because after having a little
look through and a little five minute video i was completely on top of how to use it and
i really believe that anyone can use streamlabs cloudbot to do some amazing stuff in their stream
so as i said i'm going to walk you through setting it up the basics timers commands all the fun stuff
like loyalty tokens gambling heists and it'll be a pretty solid video for you to get started
with so let's get into it so obviously the first thing you're gonna need to do is actually set up
and link the streamlabs cloud spot no worries it's very easy you can either do it in the streamlabs
obs app or you can go to the dashboard and do it here now i'm going to be doing it on the
dashboard because i think it's faster and easier but the fact that it's built in is pretty amazing
you're going to head over to your dashboard click on cloudbot and just hit this little switch here
to have it turned on next step we have to do is head over to your twitch channel and type slash
mod space streamlabs this will set up the bot that streamlabs cloudbot runs through as a moderator
and congratulations your streamlabs cloudbot is now set up and running there's just a few
things you're going to have to customize first once you have your bite activated
you can dive into the fun stuff but first i want to cover all the moderation tools because these
are where streamlabs bloodbot really shines to control your chat when you're small you
don't have a bunch of mods so you can help out and sometimes you can't stop doing what you're
doing to delete a message streamlabs cloudbot moderation tools are easy to customize and very
thorough so you can make sure that you're safe from any trolls who come into your chat
so what you're gonna do is you're gonna click mod tools and start setting up your auto moderation
you'll see all these options here now i won't go through every single step but i'm going to
give you a brief overview of how it works and i'll do a full video soon on every specific section of
cloudbot so the main moderation tools i use are link symbol word paragraph and emote protection
simple word paragraph and a mode are all set to avoid spam like ascii art or large copy pastes
but link protection is set my mods and myself can write exclamation mark permit at a username
in the chat and it will give that user 60 seconds of permission to post a link this is
great for if they want to share a clip that is on my channel that's just been done or if they want
to share something that relates to the stream in some way the major one you'll want to turn
on is word protection this mod tool will remove offensive or derogatory words and you can see
the settings if you click preferences auto payment will allow you to allow people who are subscribers
regulars or both to post without being caught but let's be real if you're trying to catch slurs and
derogatory comments you don't exactly want anyone to be able to say it you can turn on the default
blacklist and this will catch the majority of the offensive words but you can also do it custom
which i'll show you in a second what you're going to do is you're going to turn on the punishment
message and you can customize it as you see fit but here is the part where you can get custom
now i'm not going to click it here but if you want to click blacklist you can add words and phrases
to the list of words and set custom punishments for certain words i have bands set up for all
racial slurs anything like that the different types of punishment are purge timeout and ban
a purge aka wiping all their messages a timeout which is selected you can change the length of or
a straight band i'd recommend just going through reading through the preferences and hovering
over the question marks to get an understanding but it's all pretty straightforward and simple
if you want me to cover all the different settings i use for moderation i will do a full video just
on moderation with streamlabs cloudbot but let me know in the comments for that speaking of a little
call to action for you to comment i'm gonna throw it out there if this video helps you out at all
consider checking out my other content i've got all sorts of videos on how to use streamlabs obs
how to grow on twitch the best games to stream how to use discord servers all of it so check that out
and if it helps you consider subscribing now once all that's out of the way you can get into the fun
stuff now these are the heists and gambles these are the modules these help keep chat engaged and
active so when anyone joins they go wow this is a really hyped up this is a really active chat
i'm going to let you play with these as you see fit but i will give you a quick rundown of
what everything does first you need to know what loyalty tokens are loyalty tokens are a currency
which you can set the name of in your loyalty tab in this tab you can also see how many are
earned when people do different things such as talk follow raid etc loyalty tokens really make
people want to be in chat because obviously they have to be in chat to earn the points it'll also
track how many hours people have been in chat the most for this session before you reset your
tokens if you set up a reward for most points at the end of a month or for the most hours in chat
then it'll also engage people to stay around a lot longer for example mine is said that
whoever has the most points in chat at the end of the month will get a gift sub to the channel
and whoever has the most hours in chat will get a huge slew of loyalty tokens to start out the next
month with and get them closer to getting that gift sub that i just mentioned these tokens can
be traded with each other gambled and there's all sorts of stuff that i'm not going to list
today we'll be here for hours if i do but they're a fantastic tool so i would recommend turning them
on and customizing them for your stream i want to mention three modules that i think everyone should
start with in this the first is heist heists are a great way for your chat to come together
it's simple we have to do is turn on the module for heist and then when you type exclamation mark
heist and a number of loyalty tokens or the word all it'll start a heist now everyone in chat can
ride it together exclamation mark heist and it'll have a little story attached to it as if all of
the people who joined in are trying to heist a bunch of loyalty tokens off of something now i've
had a few custom stories and i changed it every few months whether it's a runaway train or people
breaking into a vault that i own people just like the engagement and they love having a bit
of fun with it to start though you can leave it as default it is still great so just give it a go
two other modules are slots and gamble they're essentially the same thing but in different
ways gamble is it just rolls a dice for you one to 100 and the person can put tokens up to bet
if they get over 50 or whatever you set it to be custom they win and double their tokens
the other is slots much harder to win but if they do they win big it's the same as
you know the pokies or whatever the things are they're just a fun little way of people
writing in chat the final module that i really like is the eight ball module we all know what
an eight ball is you ask a question to it and it'll come back with an answer
it's just a fun way for chat to make jokes and and have a little play with it i'll let you guys
explore these modules and have a go but if you have any comments chuck them down below and i
will help you out if you want to know my settings for any of this stuff happy to pass them along
just let me know let's get into the commands and don't forget we have the timer function coming up
soon as well which is the best way that i've found to get follows now onto commands i'm sure you've
seen all sorts of commands out there on twitch for stream labs it is exclamation mark the word
you're using to trigger the command and anything else you need for example exclamation mark heist
and the number that is a command it's just one of the default ones installed with cloudbot commands
are different to timers timers will go off at a certain interval with certain rules but a command
is triggered manually and you can set a cooldown for it so people can't just use them back to back
next to the modules tab if you click commands you have a few options here you're going to
see all my commands on screen just ignore these so you can click default next to the custom tab
and it will show a lot of template commands you can turn on and off or edit these as you see fit
or if you want to add a custom command go back to your commands click add command and there are more
templates here such as lurk uptime follow age and etc now i would recommend turning on lurk uptime
and follow age because these are just very common commands and most people expect them to be in chat
today i'm going to be showing you guys how to set up a follow age command this is used so people can
see how long they've been following you it is a bit of a crown or a bit of a badge i know my chat
love to see who's been around longest so click on that template click exclamation mark follow age
and it will fill out the command and the response itself now if you want to set up a custom one in
this exact same slot all you have to do is write exclamation mark socials and for example the
response can be your social links very simple very easy now the next step though is crucial check
your reply rules you need to decide if you want the bot to whisper the person or reply in chat
next is permissions who can use this command for example whether it be mods or anyone
or just subscribers finally the advanced features this means how often people can use it or how many
loyalty tokens it's going to cost to use for now let's set the cooldowns the global cooldown is the
cooldown of how often it can be used by anyone and the user is how long it can be used by the same
person for example if the global is 30 seconds and the user is 60 seconds then if chatter a uses
the command they can't for another 60 seconds but chatter b can use it again after only 30
seconds if you want to know what an alias is these are other exclamation mark commands that
can trigger the same response so exclamation mark social might be your command but an alias could be
exclamation mark twitter and it will send the same response have a play with commands if you have any
questions as i said comment down below happy to run through extra detail down there finally on
to timers now timers are incredibly powerful and i really recommend getting these set up not too
many of them because it can get very spammy but a good example of a timer is the call to action
follow timer now i have mine manually set up so that after a certain amount of time and a
certain amount of messages they will say in chat hey if you're enjoying the stream why not consider
following every time this goes off i always notice that i get one or two followers or sometimes even
like four or five followers who have just been lurking it is incredibly powerful to set these go
to timers click add a timer name it something for example follow board then type what you want to
say in chat in the response section the interval is the time between when it will send in minutes
so it could be 15 to 30 minute intervals and the line minimum is very important this is how many
other messages need to have been said in chat since the last time the bot sent it so if you
set this to be 30 minutes but only five messages get sent since the last bot message it won't send
it again until you get another five messages this just avoids your chat being literally just a bot
saying the same thing over and over and over again so for mine i have mine set to every 30 minutes to
send it as long as 10 messages have been said in chat pretty much it'll always go off for every
30 minutes because in my chat we are quite active with heists and all sorts of stuff that i've shown
you today i also have a timer to tell people about certain commands that's built into the
same one i just talked about for example i have an exclamation mark question of the day command
so people get asked a question and it keeps chat active there are so many ways you can use timers
commands all these different modules to get chat active so have a play with it let me know if
you want to deep dive into anything else because these are very powerful when it comes to getting
followers and with all that out of the way you are now a streamlabs cloudbot expert congratulations i
look forward to dropping by your chat and seeing all the heists going off or all the other things
as i said comment down below if you need anything check us out on twitter if you have any questions
