Twitch Video Shoutouts

This extension allows for maximum customization when creating shoutouts on stream. Decide whether you'd like to show a clip from the streamer, and even customize the output message.

Due to Twitch "Maturity" Ratings, you may occasionally see a warning in the browser source to "Start Watching". You can check your Twitch Content Settings here. At some point, you have to accept "watching" each of the 6 different Labels to not see it anymore. The image below shows the different classification labels.

Customizing Twitch Video Shoutouts in Streamer.bot

There are a few customization options that you can access from expanding the 'Settings' group folder. This will allow you to change the output message, adjust maximum clip duration, and even disable videos all together.

Manually adjusting video shoutouts in Streamer.bot

Allow Videos: Defaults to 'True', if you'd rather just have the shoutout show a message in your chat and NOT display a user's clip, change it to 'False'.
Max Clip Duration: This is defaulted to 30 seconds. However, if you'd like clips to only play 15 seconds, or a full minute, put 60 here. (This is the MAXIMUM, meaning if it randomly selects a clip that is under the maximum, it still just ends and finishes the action).
Custom Message: This is especially useful if English is not the main language in your chat, or if you want something a little extra saucy to be displayed in chat. There are custom arguments needed to display certain things in chat and they are used ONLY for THIS particular message.
- %shoutUser% - Used for the name of the user being shouted out
- %shoutGame% - Used for the last played game for the user being shouted out
- %shoutLink% - This will display the clickable Twitch link for the user being shouted out

EXAMPLE MESSAGE: Go check out @%shoutUser% at %shoutLink% playing %shoutGame%
