hi and welcome to this video this is machine gainer and i'm going to be showing you how
on cloudbot from streamlabs online you could set up polls for your stream this is agnostic
to the stream that you actually stream on for example youtube gaming facebook gaming
and obviously twitch so you can do it on any uh you don't even need to be using streamlabs obs
software to be able to enable this this is purely a cloud-based polling system that
you can integrate into your stream obviously if you're already using streamlabs online and cloud
but it's a lot easier to enable this to happen but even if you're not it's really really easy
to enable and in this video i'll show you how to set up the polls change all the variables
and of course add cloudbot briefly as well if you find this useful please feel free to give
it a thumbs up it does help other people to find this video as well and also if you want to see
more tips or tricks or hints or tutorials and all sorts of stuff to do with uh streaming i do do
a hell of a lot of streaming tutorials so feel free to hit the subscribe button finally i stream
daily at twitch.tv forward slash machine dana so if you do want to see these in action by all
means jump by and drop a little follow take a look without further ado let's get into it
so first of all you're going to need to ensure that cloudbot and streamlabs online are linked
to your streaming platform and particularly your profile so it doesn't really matter
whether you're in twitch here or youtube gaming or facebook game what you need to do is navigate
separately to streamlabs.com you can log in using your stream credentials so it can use your twitch
login credentials for example that will then link uh streamlabs online to your profile once you've
authorized it then secondly what you need to do is navigate to cloudbots go to the cloudbot uh
header here and toggle this on that will toggle the cloud bot on for your profile but it won't
work until you've forward slash modded streamlabs in your chat once you've done all those things you
are in a position to be able to enable cloud bar and all the various different modules and commands
i've done a load of videos on the different modules available through cloudbot and
so far they've been really well received so feel free to take a little browse and i think at the
end of this video there'll be a playlist on the end card so just to add polls it's very very
simple and straightforward you click to the polls function here there are two settings and i'll go
into both here you can add pause remove polls manage the polls here at this section you can
set multiple poll profiles including um ones that you can basically regurgitate uh cancel
edit and that sort of thing you simply click on profiles to add a poll click add poll here
there are some general settings and some more advanced settings that to go into uh first of
all you can give your poll a title for example uh who will win the premier league uh in 2020 to 2021
i'm a liverpool fan so i think it's going to be liverpool that will win it but we'll also put some
options here as well so we'll put liverpool fc type command uh you can either here put vote one
or you can put a vote a more specific one like liv liverpool and then you could just
have vote two vote three vote for to keep it simple uh but i like to do custom one so
exclamation vote space and then live and then you can add another option man city
is probably an option i would say so we're given the name of the option here and then the command
mc fc we'll add that and then we can do some more unreasonable options like uh manchester united
manu there's absolutely no chance they're going to win it so we'll put the option
in there as a wild card so now the users will have to type exclamation point space
and then exclamation point liverpool the vote on those expression point vote space
exclamation point mufc and some people might even choose man united that'd be crazy if they
did in fact let's delete it there's absolutely no chance man united are going to win the league
so there you go we've got the poll options here all we've done is set the title and the options
in advance now so there are a number of different options here that you've got first of all you
can use a timer uh for the poll or you can choose to manually manage the poll yourself
using a timer just means you set a duration here in seconds this is a value in seconds how long
the poll will run for for example if i wanted to run for uh 300 seconds it'd be five minutes
and then you can you can choose for the viewers to be notified when their vote has actually
been registered by toggling this thing on as well you can leave the timer off if you want
to just manually turn the pole on and off and that's easy enough to do and once you've got
the pole set there again you can bend the pole you can edit it further or you can start the
pole or you can even add new pause if i don't start the poll here i'm just going to go into
my chat uh just to see what this looks like i'll press start poll and we'll see here a poll has
opened for who will win the premier league i can now register my vote to say exclamation point
uh exclamation point vote space vote liverpool and then the bot will say machine dana has voted on
liverpool i've now i now could see that the vote has come come into the voting options here you'll
see these vote bars move up and down depending on which one is winning you can choose to
close the poll by clicking this button here or you can just let it run for the duration of its timer
obviously if you've not set a timer on it you will need to actively close the poll
i'll just close the poll and then there's a message here you can no longer vote on the poll so
that's the poll and we can actually show on screen this to the users to show them what the votes were
how many were voting and the time that was left on the poll and that sort of thing that's the basics
of setting up a poll and how you manage it now we'll just go into some settings here here's where
you actually just defined this define the messages that returned and some more general information
about your polls and these are more like global settings for your polls as well so first of all
in this section here using repeat messages when this is toggled on it will just use
a repeat message that tells the users in chart and reminds them about the poll that is going on
the message here as standard is a poll is going on for and that's a variable for the the title
of the poll and using and then that's a variable for the commands and then the options for the poll
you can edit this though for example happy voting
with an exclamation mark so you are able to edit these uh these variables and also the base text
you may want to also put for example a i don't know um an emote in there and that sort of thing
and what you do with these chat lines here this just says the repeating messages that
are turned on with that custom message how frequently the repeater message will
arrive essentially so you may you may not want it so it's it's continually repeating the message
you've got to be careful here not to set it too low because if you set it too low the message
will just be continually spamming chat you've got a very busy chat you might want to consider
having it kind of quite a lot further up there uh some probably somewhere around 20 to 50 for most
people is going to be absolutely fine then we've got the messages so this is an open message which
is which we saw here uh which is the poll being opened so a poll is open for and then it uses the
variables to tell people about what that what that poll is and also how to vote close message you can
no longer vote on this poll unlucky so you can customize these uh then cancel message that paul
has been canceled just in case you actually end up cancelling a poll there's a council message here
finally you've got a win and a time message um so this is a was the most voted on option on the poll
and then the amount percentage of the votes and that just shows that and the same for tied here
i click save settings on that it just adds a little bit more customization a little bit
more kind of scope for for function uh within the the polling there the final thing you can
actually do here is go into the commands option and look at the default commands if i just do
a control f4 polling it just means that you can actually define what that what that exclamation
point is to register the vote and to edit that i can simply go in there and give it an another name
and then yeah the response option that comes when they do vote so for example here that
username voted on whatever the option was thanks for participating i think that's how you spell it
um and then secondly they want to go into advanced it could be for instance uh we could have one
which is like cast vote or something like that we can add an alias it just means that
cast vote will also work uh alongside vote um in case some people want to to use that
instead and that's that you're able to just update the default command for that as well
you can also play around with the variables here if i just do a control f on poll the number here
um of kind of variable options you can pull these in or out of the messages that you can customize
the final thing you can do is click on complete to complete the poll and what that will do is in chat
it will just actually display the results of the poll here so liverpool was the most voted option
on the poll with 100 of the votes and therefore liverpool will win the premier league in 2021
